View Ref-File8.10  Extended file-selectors                                      TOS

The following functions were introduced with MagiC 4, and permit 
management of the file-selector:

 ∙ fslx_close       Closes the file-selector and releases memory
 ∙ fslx_do          Faster call-up of the file-selector
 ∙ fslx_evnt        Releases file-selector for use
 ∙ fslx_getnxtfile  Obtains all further selected entries
 ∙ fslx_open        Initializes and opens file-selector
 ∙ fslx_set_flags   Sets certain flags for the whole system

Note: The existence of these functions can be checked with a call of 
appl_getinfo (opcode 7).

The main advantage of using these routines lies in the ability of the 
functions specified here to work also with alternative file-systems 
(catchword: long filenames).
