DESCRIPTION
       The  extfileselectiondialog  command creates an extended file selection
       dialog which is slightly different than the fileselectiondialog 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       panedwindow and the entryfields for the filter and selection have  been
       replaced  by  comboboxes.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.


METHODS
       The extfileselectiondialog command creates a new Tcl command whose name
       is  pathName.  This command may be used to invoke various operations on
       the widget.  It has the following general form:

              pathName option ?arg arg ...?

       Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the  command.   The
       following commands are possible for extfileselectiondialog widgets:

ASSOCIATED METHODS
       get             childsite      filter

       See  the "fileselectionbox" class manual entry for details on the asso-
       ciated methods.

INHERITED METHODS
       add             buttonconfigure                defaulthide
       insert          invoke         show

       See the "buttonbox" widget manual entry for details on the above inher-
       ited methods.

       activate        center         deactivate

       See  the "shell" widget manual entry for details on the above inherited
       methods.


WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
       pathName cget option
              Returns the current value of the configuration option  given  by
              option.   Option  may  have  any  of  the values accepted by the
              extfileselectiondialog command.

       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
              Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If  no
              option  is  specified,  returns  a  list  describing  all of the
              available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for  infor-
              mation on the format of this list).  If option is specified with
              no value, 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 option  is  specified).   If
              one  or  more option-value 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.  Option may
              have any of the values accepted  by  the  extfileselectiondialog
              command.
