DESCRIPTION

     The fileselectiondialog command  creates  a  file  selection
     dialog  similar  to the OSF/Motif standard composite widget.
     The fileselectiondialog is derived from the Dialog class and
     is  composed  of  a  FileSelectionBox with attributes set to
     manipulate the dialog buttons.



METHODS

     The fileselectiondialog 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 gen-
     eral form:

          pathName option ?arg arg ...?

     Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the com-
     mand.   The  following  commands are possible for fileselec-
     tiondialog widgets:

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 fileselectiondialog 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 information 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  correspond-
          ing  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 fileselectiondialog  com-
          mand.
