Re: Documentation or examples wanted for the File_Chooser_Dialog

THis is just one of the sites I visited. I think it is Unix like 
documentation, Good when you know how  to use the something but Fuzzy when 
you have to learn something. I hope that there is documentation or examples 
that are more clear for leople who do want to learn something.
