1 Show a JFileChooser() dialog for opening or saving a file.
If you select a file in the listbox, but type in the textfield
a different name that does not exist,
      JFileChooser.getSelectedFile() will return null

  public static String getFileW(JComponent parent) {
    if (wChooser == null) wChooser = new JFileChooser();
    int returnVal = wChooser.showSaveDialog(parent);
    if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
      File file = wChooser.getSelectedFile();

1. Use JFileChooser to open a Save File dialog by calling
showSaveDialog(Frame);

2. When the dialog is displayed, the user first chooses an existing file from
the list. This causes the file name to be copied into the text area at the
bottom of the dialog, where it can now be edited. The user now edits the file
name so that it represents a file that isn't on the disk.

3. Dismiss the dialog. The function getSelectedFile() now returns null.

If the user simply types the entire filename without first choosing an existing
file from the list, the problem doesn't occur; getSelectedFile() will return the
proper file name.
