Hi Sven,

Understood.  However, it appears that simply setting a MacType to  
something has resolved this (at least for now).  As a test, I set the  
MacType to "DUMB" and the Extensions to "tgz;tar.gz" and now only the  
appropriate files are displayed.  So, it looks like so long as teh  
MacType is not empty, the Extensions setting will be used.
