Syntax:

FileName([<"fileType">])
shows all files, or


Returns the full path name of the file selected.

<"fileType"> is the 4 character type of the file you want to open.  If no type is specified, all files are shown.

For example:
FileName("APPL") will show only applications

FileName("STAK") will show only stacks.

FileName("TEXT") will show only text documents.
