I'm writing some scripts that do most everything from the command-line.
Only thing GUI that would really help is a File Dialog box for selecting
file locations. What module would give me the fastest access to one?
(I.e., shortest learning time.)

Two things that can be taken for granted:
* Script will be run on Linux system
* Script will be run under Gnome desktop environment

Zenity should do the job for you. In IRB try:
file = `zenity --file-selection` #=> '/home/yeban/foo'
Also, see man zenity for more widgets.

In case you don't have zenity but tk:
`wish <(echo 'puts [tk_getOpenFile]; exit')`
Also see http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tk/getOpenFile.html
