[kepler-users] kepler parameters

[Edward A. Lee]

The documentation for FileParameter says:

"If this attribute contains a parameter named allowFiles with value 
false, then when a file browser is used to select a file, that file 
browser will be set to not show files (only directories will be shown). 
If this attribute contains a parameter named allowDirectories with value 
true, then the file browser will permit the user to select directories 
(the default behavior is that when a directory is selected, that 
directory is opened and its contained files and directories are listed)."

(I'm not sure about Kepler, but in Ptolemy, just drag in a FileParameter
from the Utilities menu, right click on it, and select Documentation.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "list parameter." Can you cite a specific
example?
