A file dialogue box will prompt the user for the input file name. This dialogue box include a list box of the available files that meet the selected filter. The default filter or extension for input files is *.dat. Therefore, when the files are listed in the dialogue box, only the files with extension of .dat in the current directory will be listed. You can change the filter by typing it in the filename input line. You can also use the file dialogue box to change the directory. The default filter also will be used as the default extension of the input filename. For example, if the filename "TEST" is entered, the program will treat the filename as "TEST.DAT". To specify a filename of "TEST"; with no extension, type a dot after the name, i.e.,"TEST.".
