# The jfs File Selection Panel

## Introduction

The `jfs` application is just a wrapper around the `j:fs` procedure in the jfs.tcl library. It's intended to make it easy to ask the user to select a file from shell scripts, windowmanager menus, etc.

This help file describes `jfs` version 1998.11.04.

Copyright and contact information is available in the jstools documentation.

## Invocation and Usage

`jfs` [options]

Invoking `jfs` brings up a file selection panel with a listbox and entry widget that lets the user select a file. There are several options that control the behaviour and appearance of the file selection panel; they are described in the documentation for the `j:fs` procedure in the jfs.tcl library.

Both prompt and title are localisable.

## Example

`play `jfs -prompt "Play what sound file?" -directory /data/sounds`
