DESCRIPTION

Fileaction allows one to choose a command for a file specified on the commandline, e.g selection of a printer. The GUI offers a list of actions specified in the parameter file. The Escape-Key closes the window, while the Return-key executes the selected action. If no action is selected, both the Return-key and the OK-button are disabled.
