Some applications allow you to view contents of packages and invisible
files (TextWrangler's dialogs are a good example), and others don't. For
the ones that don't, there's a simple work-around solution: If you view
any folder within the package in a Finder window, you can drag items
from the Finder window into the open/save dialog box listing area to go
there.
