dialog boxes

hi.
im on mac osx version 10.3.8 with the newest devtools and codewarrior 9.
i wrote a program in C++ that parses the returned mail in my mailbox (library/mail) for all the email addresses. it then writes a tab delimited file to my filemaker pro database folder. filemaker then has a script that imports this file and marks for deletion all the records that match the email addresses.
i would like to have the enduser CHOOSE where these files, to read from AND write to, are located and then write a pref file with these 2 paths. from then on it will use the pref file for the locations.
please any assistance would be well appreciated.

Adrian
