This function will open a file requester (also known as an open dialog box or file chooser dialog) that prompts the user to select a file for opening. The function will then copy the path to the string buffer passed in the second parameter. If the user cancels the requester, hw_FileRequest() will return False and the string buffer won't be modified. If the user selects a file and acknowledges the requester, True is returned.
