Hi.
The default behavior of emacs 21 is to get windows-file-dialogs when you use
the mouse and minibuffer-dialogs when you use the keyboard.
But you can change that with the custom-variable use-dialog-box:
"use-dialog-box's value is t
Documentation:
*Non-nil means mouse commands use dialog boxes to ask questions.
This applies to y-or-n and yes-or-no questions asked by commands
invoked by mouse clicks and mouse menu items.
You can customize this variable."

Folks,
When I do C-x C-f, I get the traditional behavior, i.e. emacs prompts me
in the minibuffer to enter the name of the file I want to open.
However, when I do File > Open File... (i.e. use the menu bar), I get
the Windows-standard file open dialog.
Can anyone tell me how I can get C-x C-f to open the dialog?
I've done C-h k on the menu, and it claims that it invokes find-file,
but when I do M-x find-file, I get the traditional find-file behavior
(i.e. minibuffer-mediated).
Thanks in advance for any help you can lend.

Folks,
Sorry, I should have said that I'm running GNU emacs 21.2.1 on XP.
