surely it means that if I select the characters 'tempfile.t' of the characters 
'tempfile.tex', it will select 'tempfile.tex' then open that. 

If I select 'tempfile' it will search for 'tempfile'.

have you tried it? (I haven't)

(seems to me it could be clearer if the suffix wasn't a single character).
