Indeed there's no reference in Pharo.

In Squeak it is used by PostscriptEncoderToDisk and DSCPostscriptCanvasToDisk  which don't exist in Pharo.

So I suppose that it can be safely removed.

Thanks Fernando & Carlo (I like the code snippet). 

Laurent.

I provide a way to indicate that an object would like a file to write to.

You can use me as follows:
| file |
[file := PickAFileToWriteNotification signal. file inspect] on: PickAFileToWriteNotification do: [:ex | | newFileName stream | newFileName := FillInTheBlankMorph request: 'Name of file to write:' translated initialAnswer: 'xxx'. stream := FileStream fileNamed: newFileName. stream ifNotNil: [ex resume: stream]]
