stored unless you select this menu item. If any handles are marked for deletion,
you will be asked whether you want to delete them before saving your work.
Note that this will probably have no effect if the WPS is currently running
because the WPS holds an internal copy of the handles table and will probably
overwrite your changes soon. This is why the WPS should not be running while
you're writing the handles back.
See The Basics page also.
This allows you to sort the handles list according to the values in the various
columns. (See The Handles List for a description of the
columns.) If you sort by index, the display shows the the exact order in which the
handle entries appeared in the OS2SYS.INI
table (with ascending
node offsets as well). "Sort by index" is the default sort order after xfix startup.

The mask "*.txt"

the "Close" button or the Esc key. That way, selections with
different masks can be applied successively.
Note that the mask is matched against the short name. Thus, it is not possible to use this dialog to easily select all handles of objects that reside in a certain directory.
