Can a GUI popup menu be configured to create a file browser?

I don't see why not. You could use one element of Userdata to keep track of
the current path, and another element of Userdata to keep track of which of
the entries are directories.

Note: you may wish to examine some of Yair's old postings; if I recall
correctly, he has the incantations to bring up the Java file browser.

one of many ways

[F,PathName,FilterIndex] = uigetfile({'*.*','All Files(*.*)'}, 'Select your File ');
 b = strcat(PathName,F);
 Input = importdata(b);

Thanks. I also found "uigetdir" to be useful.
