       tk_chooseDirectory ?option value ...?
_________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION

       The procedure tk_chooseDirectory pops up a dialog box  for
       the user to select a directory. The following option-value
       pairs are possible as command line arguments:

       -initialdir dirname
              Specifies that the directories in directory  should
              be  displayed  when  the  dialog  pops  up. If this
              parameter is not specified, then the directories in
              the current working directory are displayed. If the
              parameter specifies a  relative  path,  the  return
              value will convert the relative path to an absolute
              path.  This option may not always work on the  Mac­
              intosh.   This  is  not  a bug. Rather, the General
              Controls control panel on the Mac  allows  the  end
              user to override the application default directory.

       -parent window
              Makes window the logical parent of the dialog.  The
              dialog is displayed on top of its parent window.

       -title titleString
              Specifies  a  string to display as the title of the
              dialog box. If this option is not specified, then a
              default title will be displayed.

       -mustexist boolean
              Specifies whether the user may specify non-existant
              directories.  If this parameter is true,  then  the
              user  may  only  select  directories  that  already
              exist.  The default value is false.
