DESCRIPTION
       The iwidgets::fileselectiondialog command creates a file selection
       dialog similar to the OSF/Motif standard composite widget.  The
       fileselectiondialog is derived from the Dialog class and is composed of
       a FileSelectionBox with attributes set to manipulate the dialog
       buttons.

METHODS
       The iwidgets::fileselectiondialog command creates a new Tcl command
       whose name is pathName.  This command may be used to invoke various
       operations on the widget.  It has the following general form:

              pathName option ?arg arg ...?

       Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.  The
       following commands are possible for fileselectiondialog widgets:

ASSOCIATED METHODS
       get             childsite      filter

       See the "fileselectionbox" class manual entry for details on the
       associated methods.

INHERITED METHODS
       add             buttonconfigure                defaulthide
       insert          invoke         show

       See the "buttonbox" widget manual entry for details on the above
       inherited methods.

       activate        center         deactivate

       See the "shell" widget manual entry for details on the above inherited
       methods.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC METHODS
       pathName cget option
              Returns the current value of the configuration option given by
              option.  Option may have any of the values accepted by the
              iwidgets::fileselectiondialog command.

       pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...?
              Query or modify the configuration options of the widget.  If no
              option is specified, returns a list describing all of the
              available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for
              information on the format of this list).  If option is specified
              with no value, then the command returns a list describing the
              one named option (this list will be identical to the
              corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is
              specified).  If one or more option-value pairs are specified,
              then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the
              given value(s);  in this case the command returns an empty
              string.  Option may have any of the values accepted by the
              iwidgets::fileselectiondialog command.
