I've been trying to get the allegro file-select function figured out and it
sort of works... here's my code:

void load_file(void) {
 char name_of_file[256];
  *get_filename(name_of_file) = 0;
  if (file_select("Open File:", name_of_file, "htm;*")) {
    load(buf);
  } else quit_program();
}

Now, this seems to work allright... it brings up a window and I can click on
files and it quits because there's no loop yet, and I can click on cancel or
ok and it quits and that's fine, but the problem is that if I click on a
different directory or drive, it shuts down Allegro due to "Sigsegv."  I'm
relatively sure that I'm forgetting something here but I can't figure out
what it is.  Any ideas?
