Open File Dialog
 
The Open File dialog allows you to select the file(s) to open. They may be GEDCOM (.ged) files or Behold (.bho) files. Behold Organize files tell Behold what GEDCOM files are to be opened along with how to display them.
 
Behold can open any number of GEDCOM files at one time, but you can only open one Behold Organize file.
