 FileSelect - OSF/Motif standard file selection dialog

NAMESPACE

 
 util

PARENT CLASS

 
 util::TopLevelWidget

SYNOPSIS

 
 FileSelect <path> ?options?

DESCRIPTION

 
 This class implements a version of the OSF/Motif standard file
 selection dialog box using primitive widgets as the building blocks.
 This is a modified version of an old widget written by Mark Ulferts
 that is still used because of poor performance in the iwidgets2.x
 version.  This should probably be replaced when we move to tcl8.x.
