Can anyone help me with a file limit that we are finding. When opening a
Qwin dialogue box to open our own data files, we are limited to viewing 150
files. We can see that there are many more than 150 files in this directory
on the system, using the ls command in the specific directory, but the Qwin
box is limiting us. Thanks for your help.

I assume you are using something like FileMenu() to put this dialog
up, right?
I took a look at the client side code, and it doesn’t look like it is
building the list there, so it is probably on the server side, and to
the best of my knowledge that code is pretty well frozen at this point.
The best I can suggest is some work-arounds of varying difficulty from
creating a complete window where you build the file list and contents
yourself and handle the interaction, to partitioning your data files
into sub-directories (alphabetically, or by type, or something else)
to limit the number in one place, to using the pattern passed in to
FileMenu() to help or work with displaying only a relevant subset of
what might be there.
