documentation

    this class implements file selection boxes. Instances show a list of
    files, and perform an action block with the selected pathname as
    argument when ok is clicked. It is also possible, to open the box
    without action and ask it afterward if it has been left with ok
    (i.e. the ST-80 way, asking 'aBox accepted ifTrue:[...]')

    There is an optional PatternField, which shows itself when a pattern
    is defined (i.e. if there is no pattern, it is hidden). 
    If there is a pattern, only files matching the pattern are shown in 
    the list. Directories are not affected by the patternField.

    In addition, there is an optional matchBlock (actually this is defined 
    in the FileSelectionList). Only names for which this matchblock
    returns true will be presented. The matchBlock affects both regular files
    and names of directories. The argument passed to the matchBlock is the full
    pathname.

    All of the actual work is done in the fileList; see the documentation
    of FileSelectionList for more options 
    (you can access a boxes fileList via 'aBox>>listView' and get access to all
     of those fancy settings)
    For example, by accessing the list, it is possible to hide all directories 
    ('aBox listView ignoreDirectories:true'), to hide the parentDirectory alone 
    ('aBox listView ignoreParentDirectory') and to turn off the marking 
    of subdirectories ('aBox listView markSubdirectories:false').

    finally, an action:
                                                                        [exBegin]
