That particular item is implemented as a UAT_FLD_DIRECTORYNAME item in a UAT,
so what needs to change is the UAT code for PT_TXTMOD_DIRECTORYNAME items, so
that it works the same way as prefs_register_filename_preference() do, with a
text field into which you can type a pathname (absolute or relative) and a
"Browse" button to let you fill it in by browsing.

As long as that's being done - which should be done for UI consistency, if for
no other reason - the code for PT_TXTMOD_FILENAME should change in the same
way, so all UI "type in a pathname" places allow you to type in the path name
yourself, as well as finding it by browsing.

See ui/gtk/uat_gui.c.
