Make a file dialog maintain the previous ran file name?

How do you make a file dialog maintain the previous ran file name properly?  In other words I want my application when open to automatically suggest the previous file name for loading that was open last time.  I think I could do this by creating a file and using the signal express file dialog but I wanted to hear what some other suggestions might be. 

 

Regards,

SS,

 

I have been using the 'config file' vi's to handle this kind of info.

The File dialog function has an input to set the 'browsed folder' and an input to set the default name.
