Tutorial 206 | Using the OpenFileDialog class to access a text file for use with the optimization class

Based on Tutorial 100 (see https://markplex.com/free-tutorials/tutorial-100-building-app-optimizer-api/) and Quicktip 37 (see https://markplex.com/free-tutorials/tradestation-easylanguage-quicktips/quick-tip-37-use-streamreader-to-import-a-symbol-list-into-the-optimizer/
Tutorial 100 demonstrated a simple optimization using the optimizer class. Quicktip 37 took the tutorial 100 program, which had a list of symbols to be used in the optimization 'hard coded' into the program, and instead made it so that the user to store the list of symbols into a txt file and for the program to import.

Tutorial 206 extends this further by taking the Quicktip 37 program and allowing the user to search for a file on their hard drive. The file is selected and the symbol data is imported.
