______________________________________________________________________________

       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  dis‐
	      played.  If  the parameter specifies a relative path, the return
	      value will convert the relative path to an absolute path.

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

       -parent window
	      Makes window the logical parent of the  dialog.  The  dialog  is
	      displayed	 on  top of its parent window. On Mac OS X, this turns
	      the file dialog into a sheet attached to the 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 dis‐
	      played.

EXAMPLE
	      set dir [tk_chooseDirectory \
		      -initialdir ~ -title "Choose a directory"]
	      if {$dir eq ""} {
		 label .l -text "No directory selected"
	      } else {
		 label .l -text "Selected $dir"
	      }
