Does anyone know where I can find a good tutorial about using the FileDialog class?

Thanks!

There shouldn't be any. java.awt.FileDialog is fatally flawed. The only choice is to write your own FileDialog implementation with AWT components or to use Swing's JFileChooser.

what's wrong with FileDialog? I've used it a few times with no problems. what sorts of problems should I be on the look-out for?

The FileFilter implementation was never written in. So, you cannot use FileFilter's, even though the code compiles fine, it is never called. There's a workaround for Win95 machines, but, of course, that doesn't leave your code very portable.

I'm on a mac, FileFilter works fine. I had some code which used a FileFilter that I took over to my brother's and ran on his Win95 box. the code worked just great except that all files were listed...
