<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
     The <STRONG>fileselectionbox</STRONG> command creates a  file  selection  box
     similar  to the OSF/Motif standard Xmfileselectionbox compo-
     site widget.  The fileselectionbox is composed of  directory
     and  file  scrolled  lists  as  well as filter and selection
     entry fields.  Bindings are in place such that selection  of
     a  directory  list  item  loads  the  filter entry field and
     selection of a file list  item  loads  the  selection  entry
     field.   Options exist to control the appearance and actions
     of the widget.



</PRE>
<H2>METHODS</H2><PRE>
     The <STRONG>fileselectionbox</STRONG> command creates a new Tcl command whose
     name  is <EM>pathName</EM>.  This command may be used to invoke vari-
     ous operations on the widget.  It has the following  general
     form:

          <EM>pathName</EM> <EM>option</EM> ?<EM>arg</EM> <EM>arg</EM> ...?

     <EM>Option</EM> and the <EM>arg</EM>s determine the exact behavior of the com-
     mand.   The  following  commands are possible for fileselec-
     tionbox widgets:



</PRE>
<H2>WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS</H2><PRE>
     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>cget</STRONG> <EM>option</EM>
          Returns the current value of the  configuration  option
          given  by  <EM>option</EM>.   <EM>Option</EM>  may have any of the values
          accepted by the <STRONG>fileselectionbox</STRONG> command.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>childsite</STRONG>
          Returns the child site widget path name.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>configure</STRONG> ?<EM>option</EM>? ?<EM>value</EM> <EM>option</EM> <EM>value</EM> ...?
          Query  or  modify  the  configuration  options  of  the
          widget.   If  no  <EM>option</EM>  is  specified, returns a list
          describing all of the available  options  for  <EM>pathName</EM>
          (see  <STRONG>Tk_ConfigureInfo</STRONG> for information on the format of
          this list).  If <EM>option</EM> is specified with no <EM>value</EM>, then
          the  command  returns  a  list describing the one named
          option (this list will be identical to the  correspond-
          ing  sublist  of  the  value  returned  if no <EM>option</EM> is
          specified).  If one or more  <EM>option</EM> - <EM>value</EM>  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.  <EM>Option</EM> may have any
          of the values accepted by the <STRONG>fileselectionbox</STRONG> command.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>filter</STRONG>
          Update the current contents of the file  selection  box
          based on the current filter entry field value.

     <EM>pathName</EM> <STRONG>get</STRONG>
          Returns  the  current  value  of  the  selection  entry
          widget.
