I suspect you can't do this with the freechn.exe
command alone.  However, at one time I wrote a filepro
process that mimicks the file choosing ability of
filepro.  I suppose that you could use something like
that, and then execute a separate system command to
call freechain.exe once the user has selected the
file.

Let me know if you are interested in the code and I
will forward it to you - it is a simple processing
table that can be executed via a call.  Also you would
need a simple screen that I have predefined.
