A file selector chooses the file to be read or write. All file selectors
function in the same manner.

Common elements of file selectors:
Open an Index:
The "Open an index" file selector permits the user to open
the index page's file. To best utilize XMayday, this HTML page must contain
an index or a documentation's Table of Contents, with hypertext links to the
other pages in the documentation. Only
files having the extensions ".html",
".htm", ".HTML" or
".HTM" will appear in the file list. For more information
on the use of this file selector, see the instructions for a
standard file selector.
Open a File:
The "Open a File" file selector chooses the file containing
the selected HTML page. The page chosen by this file selector will appear
in the navigation section of the general interface. Only those files having
the extension ".html", ".htm",
".HTML" or ".HTM"
will appear in the file list. For more information on the use of this file
selector, see the instructions for a
standard file selector.
Print to a file:
The "Print to a file" file selector selects the filename
under which the browser's HTML page specifications will be saved. This
selector is summoned from the 'Print'
dialog box when File is chosen as the printer. The extension
".ps" is automatically added to the filename if Postscript
is the print format; the extension ".txt" is added for
other formats. For more information on the use of this file selector, see
the instructions for a
standard file selector.
