How to use funtions in Ofn.f ?

I wish to be presented with a window which looks like that given when
choosing
File-Edit from SwiftForth main menu bar. I wish templates of form
"*.SNG" and "*.TXT". The output should be a pointer to string of form
ADRIVE:\A_SERIES_OF_DIRECTORIES\afile.EXT

I think everything I need is in Ofn.f -- but how do I use it?

I looked at the SFTalk thread titled "OFN-DIALOG" initiated by Gene
LeFave (gene_at_tekdata.com) on Nov 08 1999. I tried a cut-n-past of his
code and received
OFN-DIALOG SUBCLASS CHOOSE-FILE-DIALOG OFN-DIALOG ?
however when including Ofn.f I am told OFN-DIALOG is not unique.

I assume I'm missing something obvious ;}

I've had another problem. I hesitate to state it as a problem, as I have
not researched it enough to say "I can not solve this one." However, it
may illuminate a 'blind spot'.
Although I'm currently avoiding using items defined in winmaker.f. The
use of "+SWITCH" escapes me.
