I do not use the toolbar normally, and I have not seen the file selection dialog before now, so I assume it follows the same use-file-dialog methods as other gui toolkits. *chad >> In man/files.texi I am rewriting >> >> When Emacs is built with a suitable GUI toolkit, it pops up the >> standard File Selection dialog of that toolkit instead of prompting >> for >> the file name in the minibuffer.
