textscreen: Simplify AppleScript for fileselect.
Since macOS 10.9 it is no longer to "tell an application" in order
to display pop-up UI elements like the file select dialogs. Quote:
> osascript(1) is now a “UI element” process and can therefore display
> its own UI, such as using display dialog; telling another application
> such as System Events is no longer necessary. [12365409]
As well as simplifying the wrapper this also fixes some issues with the
pop-up dialogs where window focus was getting messed up after selecting
a file.
