 *   
 *   The functions in this module are designed primarily for internal use
 *   within the library itself.  Games should use the higher level objects
 *   and functions defined in input.t and output.t instead of directly
 *   calling the functions defined here.  The reason for separating these
 *   functions is to make the UI selection pluggable, so that the same game
 *   can be compiled for either the traditional UI or the Web UI simply by
 *   plugging in the correct i/o module.

     *   
     *   1. We're reading from an event script.  In this case, regardless

     *   parses the results into an inputFile() result, bypassing any UI
     *   interaction.
     *   
     *   2. We're running in the Web UI's local stand-alone configuration,
     *   where the browser is actually an integrated window within the
     *   interpreter.  This configuration simulates the traditional UI by
     *   running everything locally - the client and server are running on
     *   the same machine, so there's really no distinction between
     *   client-side and server-side.  Because everything's local, files
     *   are local, so we want to display traditional local file selector
     *   dialogs.  The stand-alone interpreter does this for us via the
     *   standard inputFile() function when it detects this configuration.
     *   
     *   If neither of these special cases apply, inputFile() will return
     *   an error to let us know that it can't show a file dialog in the
     *   current configuration, so we'll continue on to showing the dialog
     *   on the client side via the Web UI.
