access from os?

Hey i am making a program that allows the user to "save" and "load". I was wondering if i could use the GUI browsing system that the operating system uses?
(if you don't know what i mean ... i mean when you are using a program like .. Word and go to file -> open and that window pops up that allows you to search through the folders and files on your computer .. i want to use that)

thanks a lot

Turing has virtualy no access to the os and none directly only from built in commands. Many people have made their own browsers with their own GUI.

Look into these commands

Check the submissions section for some file browser. I remember someone made an amazing one a while back with their own GUI. I created my own command prompt a while ago that could browse directories, open files, list directories and more using the Dir module BigBear posted above.

I posted a tutorial on save / load. Although it isn't professional it still helps.

It's a good tutorial, but there's already one on file I/O.
