NAME
       selectfile - file browser

SYNOPSIS
       include "selectfile.m";
       selectfile := load Selectfile Selectfile->PATH;

       init:	    fn();
       filename: fn(ctxt: ref Draw->Context, parent: ref Draw->Image,
		      title: string,
		      pat: list of string,
		      dir: string): string;

DESCRIPTION
       Selectfile  provides  an	 interactive  file  browser for use by a wm(1)
       application.  It allows a user to browse the file system	 to  select  a
       file of a give type.

       Init should be called once to initialise the module's internal state.

       Filename	 makes	a dialog panel for selecting a file.  It is created in
       the graphics context ctxt, near the northeast corner of a given	parent
       window,	parent,	 represented  by  that window's Image.	(If the parent
       window is a Tk Toplevel t,  for	instance,  the	appropriate  value  is
       t.image.)   If  parent is nil, the panel is centred on the screen.  Dir
       gives the directory where the file search  should  begin.   Only	 files
       that  match  pat are displayed.	The returned string is the name of the
       selected file, or the empty string if no file was selected.
