DESCRIPTION

       The  procedure  tk_chooseDirectory pops up a dialog box for the user to select a directory. The following
       option-value pairs are possible as command line arguments:

       -initialdir dirname
              Specifies that the directories in directory should be displayed when the dialog pops up.  If  this
              parameter  is  not specified, then the directories in the current working directory are displayed.
              If the parameter specifies a relative path, the return value will convert the relative path to  an
              absolute path.

       -parent window
              Makes  window  the  logical  parent  of  the  dialog. The dialog is displayed on top of its parent
              window.

       -title titleString
              Specifies a string to display as the title of the dialog box. If this  option  is  not  specified,
              then a default title will be displayed.

       -mustexist boolean
              Specifies  whether the user may specify non-existent directories.  If this parameter is true, then
              the user may only select directories that already exist.  The default value is false.

EXAMPLE

                      -initialdir ~ -title "Choose a directory"]
              if {$dir eq ""} {
                 label .l -text "No directory selected"
              } else {
                 label .l -text "Selected $dir"
              }
