Greetings,
        I hope some guru or similar can help this XView newbie, I have
problem with programming the file chooser package. Put briefly, if I save a
file using the standard save dialog , and then attempt to open the file i
just saved, the newly created file is not listed in the file list.
        How can I force the open dialog box to AUTOMATICALLY re-read the
directory, rather than looking at its cached file list ?
        My only reference for the FILE_CHOOSER package is "XView Programming
Manual .. 3.2" by Heller. I hope that it is simply setting an attribute when
I create the dialog box... any pointers anyone ?

regards,
        Warrick.
