How about :browsedir?  See ":help browse".

Hello,

I am writing a gvim tool for my students. To select a file I succesfully use "browse": but this command selects a file, not a folder. I know that I could use "Explore" but students are used to GUIs and for this reason browse is perfect. The script is multiplatform so I cannot use tools of Linux, Win, or Mac. And most Windows users do not have python and so Il'' prefer to avoid using python tools.
Question: is it possible to use "browse" to select a folder? Or is there any plugin to do so?

Thanks,

guido
