Hello all,

I am writing a program, and I have to write some objects to disk. This is
not the problem. I am having troubles with the file dialog. I can get it
up and get files from it, but I cannot add my own filters to the dialog.
The API states that 'setFilenameFilter' should only allow certain files to
show, but it does not seem to work. I know that the 'FilenameFilter'
object code that I have written works as it works in limiting the standard
file read-outs using 'File'. Why isn't it working ? Even then I am not
sure that I am doing the correct thing as I also want to display the
filter in the file dialog and this method does not seem to do this. Is it 
possible to do this ? Any anwsers would be very helpful.

Thanx for your time,

(: Best Regards Anywhere :)
