 Usage Notes
   ■ At run time, this property returns the currently selected file name
     from the list. The path is retrieved separately, using the Path
     property. This returned value is functionally equivalent to:
 
         List(ListIndex)
 
     See: List Property  ListIndex Property  Path Property
 
   ■ When writing to this property:
     • Including a drive, path, or pattern in the string changes the Drive,
       Path, and Pattern properties accordingly.
     • Including the name of an existing file (without wildcard characters)
       in the string selects the file.
 
   ■ Changing the value of this property may also cause one or more of these
     events:
 
         Action                           Event
