Description

The function prompt-for-files presents the user with a dialog box similarly to prompt-for-file, but in which multiple filenames can be selected.

The arguments are as for prompt-for-file, except that filters defaults to:

  ("MS Word files" "*.doc"

    "HTML files" "*.htm;*.html"

    "Plain Text files" "*.txt;*.text"

    "All files" "*.*")

filenames is a list of filenames, or nil if the user cancels the dialog.

successp is a flag which is nil if the dialog was cancelled, and t otherwise.

filter-name is the name of the filter that was selected in the dialog.

Note: prompt-for-files is currently implemented only in LispWorks for Windows.
