The goal for this iteration is to implement the functionality of the File menu options: Open, Save, and Save As.
We can implement these dialogs by using the standard Tkinter widgets. However, since these are so commonly used, a specific Tkinter module called filedialog has been included in the standard Tkinter distribution.

Tkinter defines the following common use cases for filedialogs:
| Functions | Description |
| askopenfile | This returns the opened file object |
| askopenfilename | This returns the filename string, not the opened file object |
| askopenfilenames | This returns a list of filenames |
| askopenfiles | This returns a list of open file objects or an empty list if Cancel is selected |
| asksaveasfile | This asks for a filename to save as and returns the opened file object |
| asksaveasfilename | This asks for... |
