Setting the filename using the file.choose() function is usually
easiest.  I.e.

f <- file.choose()
perf_data <- read.csv(f)

You'll get the usual file choose dialog (at least in Windows and OSX;
not sure about Linux) when file.choose() runs and can navigate to the
file.  The full name including path will be saved in f.
