List Files of Type
BAS 100W recognizes its own files by using specific
extensions, such as .BIN, .TXT or .MOD. If only one
extension type is permitted, then that type of file is selected
automatically. When more than one type of file is allowed,
the program initially selects the previous choice, but allows
selection of the alternate file types.
