[wxPython 2.8.3.0 on Mac OS 10.4.11] What exactly is OVERWRITE_PROMPT supposed to do?

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi

I've just tested with the c++ dialog sample in 2.8 branch, everything is 
working as it should, having the OVERWRITE_PROMPT gives a Cancel/Replace 
dialog, without it, it just gets the filename and there is no 
'confirmation dialog'

I'll have a look at the wxPython version

Best,

Stefan
