<H4>Default File Extensions</H4>
The DefaultExtensions preference allows the user to define the default
extension, or extensions they would like to see in database selection
dialogs.  They can select multiple extensions they would like see; however,
on some systems (such as X/Motif) only the first extension will have an
effect.<p>
Note that this preference only affects the primary file selection mechanism
for image and vector files, not the file selectors used to access ancillary
text files.<p>
The list of extensions should be separated by vertical bar (pipe) symbols,
and there should be no space in the list of extensions.  Each extension
should be formed with an asterix followed by a dot followed by the extension
as shown in the example below.  In the example, the user requests to see
files with the extensions .pix (PCIDSK), .tif (TIFF) and .jpg (JPEG JFIF).<p>
Example:

<PRE>
 DefaultExtensions: *.pix|*.tif|*.jpg
