DESCRIPTION
       The 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 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:

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 file-
              selectiondialog 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 avail-
              able  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 fileselectiondialog command.
