Accessing a Windows share in open/save dialog boxes

[Stephen Mc Gowan]

If you read the man page for mount you can see that one of the mount types
is smbfs which as far as I remember is a samba mount. I don't know what
other options you need to use but I'm sure they're just a short google away.

Hope this helps
