+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The \fBiwidgets::extfileselectionbox\fR command creates an extended file
+selection box which is slightly different than the fileselectionbox widget.
+The differences are mostly cosmetic in that the listboxes are
+within a panedwindow and the entryfields for the filter and selection
+have been replaced by comboboxes. Other than that the interface is
+practically the same.
+
+.SH "METHODS"
+.PP
+The \fBiwidgets::extfileselectionbox\fR command creates a new Tcl command whose
+name is \fIpathName\fR. This
+command may be used to invoke various
+operations on the widget. It has the following general form:
+.DS C
+\fIpathName option \fR?\fIarg arg ...\fR?
+.DE
+\fIOption\fR and the \fIarg\fRs
+determine the exact behavior of the command. The following
+commands are possible for extfileselectionbox widgets:
+
+.SH "WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS"
+.TP
+\fIpathName \fBcget\fR \fIoption\fR
+Returns the current value of the configuration option given
+by \fIoption\fR.
+\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::extfileselectionbox\fR
+command.
+.TP
+\fIpathName \fBchildsite\fR
+Returns the child site widget path name.
+.TP
+\fIpathName\fR \fBconfigure\fR ?\fIoption\fR? ?\fIvalue option value ...\fR?
+Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.
+If no \fIoption\fR is specified, returns a list describing all of
+the available options for \fIpathName\fR (see \fBTk_ConfigureInfo\fR for
+information on the format of this list). If \fIoption\fR is specified
+with no \fIvalue\fR, then the command returns a list describing the
+one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding
+sublist of the value returned if no \fIoption\fR is specified). If
+one or more \fIoption\-value\fR pairs are specified, then the command
+modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in
+this case the command returns an empty string.
+\fIOption\fR may have any of the values accepted by the \fBiwidgets::extfileselectionbox\fR
+command.
+.TP
+\fIpathName \fBfilter\fR
+Update the current contents of the extended file selection box based
+on the current filter combobox value.
+.TP
+\fIpathName \fBget\fR
+Returns the current value of the selection combobox widget.
