NAME
       osa_direc_browser  -   returns  the  path matching the directory chosen
       with the GUI

SYNOPSIS
       osa_direc_browser

DESCRIPTION
       osa_direc_browser is an osascript  embedded  in  a  shell  script  that
       returns  the path corresponding to the directory (folder) selected from
       the GUI file browser.  Its real value lies in being able to incorporate
       it as a module for scripting.  Here is a simple example

       cdg, i.e.,

       alias cdg='open "$(osa_direc_browser)"'

       The  command cdg then changes the pwd of the command-line to the direc-
       tory selected from the GUI.
