+<H1>The File Chooser</H1>
+
+<P>The <CODE>FileChooser</CODE> widget provides a standard file selection
+dialog for your applications. It supports three different selection modes -
+single file selection, multiple file selection, and new file selection (for
+use in "save as" situations).
+
+<H2>Implementation</H2>
+
+<P>The <CODE>FileChooser</CODE> widget is based upon four classes:
+
+<UL>
+
+ <LI><CODE>FileBrowser</CODE> - this is a subclass of
+ <CODE>Fl_Browser</CODE> that lists files in a specified directory or
+ all drives/mount points on a system.
+
+ <LI><CODE>FileChooser</CODE> - this is the high-level class that
+ provides the dialog window and controls.
+
+ <LI><CODE>FileIcon</CODE> - this class provides icon images for
+ the <CODE>FileBrowser</CODE> widget and associates
+ filetypes/extensions with those icon images. The current code
+ understands SGI ".fti" files used under IRIX and ".xpm" files
+ used by CDE.
+
+ <LI><CODE>FileInput</CODE> - this is a subclass of
+ <CODE>Fl_Input</CODE> that remaps the Tab key. The new mapping
+ allows a user to move the cursor to the end of the current
+ selection using the Tab key (i.e. to accept filename
+ completion), but if there is no selection the Tab key performs
+ navigation instead.
+
+</UL>
+
+<P>The <CODE>FileIcon</CODE> class allows you to add icons for
+individual file types. Normally you'll just use the
+<CODE>FileIcon::load_system_icons()</CODE> method to load icons
+specific to your system; if the system icons can't be loaded
+then generic file and folder icons are used instead. Icons are
+only shown if you have loaded them.
+
+<H2>Using the FileChooser Widget</H2>
+
+<P>To use the <CODE>FileChooser</CODE> widget in your program, do:
+
+<UL><PRE>
+#include "FileChooser.h"
+
+...
+
+{
+ FileIcon::load_system_icons(); // Optional...
+
+ FileChooser fc("pathname", "*.pattern", type, "title");
+
+ fc.show();
+ while (fc.visible())
+ Fl::wait();
+
+ fc.count() = number of selected files
+ fc.value() = value of first (or only) selected file
+ fc.value(n) = value of selection "n"
+}
+</PRE></UL>
