Description:

like a normal enterBox, but does filename-completion when TAB is pressed.

Warning:

This is too-simple a dialog, and has been obsoleted by a much better Dialog 
with tree-like file selection.
Please use 
    Dialog requestFileName:'...'
or:
    Dialog requestDirectoryName:'...'
instead.

Instance protocol:

 directoriesOnly

set to expand names for directories only

** This is an obsolete interface - do not use it (it may vanish in future versions) **

 directoriesOnly: aBoolean

set/clear for directories only

 directory: aFilename

set the directory

 filesOnly

set to expand names for files only

** This is an obsolete interface - do not use it (it may vanish in future versions) **

 filesOnly: aBoolean

set/clear for files only

 createEnterField

redefined, since we need an editfield for filenames here
(if the class has not been compiled in, use a dumb default field)

Examples:

    |someString|

    someString := FilenameEnterBox request:'enter a filename:'.
