Oops, yes, silly of me to have said that about earlier Mac OS. I think what I 
was trying to say was that there may have been a time when the Save dialog 
didn't show files, or didn't show all files, (though I don't remember for 
sure), which might have had something to do with the Mac OS X delegate 
eventually being designed to control what files were shown. Or maybe not.

However, the click-to-prefill thing did precede Cocoa, as a 3rd-party hack.

The other thing I forgot to say earlier is that the new 
'panel:shouldEnableURL:' method is explicitly documented to be *ignored* for 
Save panels, which makes more sense in terms of the OP's original question than 
the older delegate method.
