You will want to either use the FileDialog module or the newer
tkFileDialog module (which might not work with earlier versions of
Tcl/Tk).

It is better to read the example code inside the source files for good
usage.  Even if it is not doing what you want, the FileDialog module
can probably give you good tips to use to make your own.
