     Search in Selected Files, Replace in Selected Files
 
     PWB displays the Search in Selected Files and Replace in Selected
     Files dialog boxes when you choose the Files button in the Find
     and Replace dialog boxes. Use the Selected Files dialog boxes to
     build a list of files that PWB is to search in multifile find or
     find-and-replace operation.
     See: ◄Search menu, Find► ◄Search menu, Replace►
 
     The default value for the list is given by the definition of the
     special macro Mgreplist. Mgreplist is redefined when you choose OK
     and when you choose Cancel.
     See: Mgreplist, Mgrep, Mreplace
 
     These dialog boxes provide the following options to edit the list
     of files.
 
     Option              Description
 
     File Name           Type the name of a file to search, or type a
                         wildcard to filter the File List box or to add
                         as a pattern.
 
     File List           Displays a list of files in the current
                         directory from which to choose.
 
                         Double-click a name to add to or remove from
                         the list.
 
     File(s) Selected    Lists the files and wildcards to search.
 
     Add / Delete        Adds the file specified in the File Name text
                         box to the list. If the file is already in the
                         list, it is removed from the list.
 
     Clear List          Clears the list of files.
 
     Add Pattern         Adds the wildcard specified in the File Name
                         text box to the list. If the wildcard is
                         already in the list, it is removed from the
                         list.
 
     NOTE: Wildcards that you add to the list are applied to PWB's
           current directory at the time of the search. If you change
           directories, the same wildcard matches a different set of
           files. That is, wildcards specify a generic pattern.
 
           To specify a wildcard for a specific directory you must type
           the full path of the directory with the wildcard in the File
           Name text box. For example, to search all .TXT files in the
           C:\DOC directory, type C:\DOC\*.TXT in the File Name text box,
           and then choose Add Pattern.
