If I open a dialog with [opendialog] the filebrowser just says "open" in 

its window bar. I'd like to be able to set the window bar to anything I

To achieve this I suggest to send it massage "dialog for example "dialog 

where the hell is jour trash" and it would display "where the hell is 

your trash" instead of "open" from now on any time I bang it...

sufficiently different that fully supporting both may not be much fun.
