#!EF #!I50 #!N Specifies the current search argument for files. You 
can broaden or narrow the scope of the files displayed in 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Files #!EF area by changing the filter string. You 
can also use the filter to specify a directory in which 
to search for the files. For example, a filter of /abc/*.net 
displays all of the visual programs in the abc directory. Change 
the filter string by clicking on it and typing the new 
string. Because Data Explorer appends the .net extension to visual programs 
when it saves them, be sure to specify .net at the 
end of the filter string. To request smaller groups of files
