filename or type the name of a QuickPick file in the Open Filename: entry field
and click the OK button.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Help for General Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The General Options dialog box lets the user specify the time delay, if any,
before floating CMD-Line to the surface. For example, if CMD-Line is hidden by
another window and the specified time limit expires, CMD-Line will move itself
to the front of the other application.
To enable this feature, simply click the Enabled checkbox. A small checkmark
will then appear.
The default time limit before CMD-Line will float to the surface is 30 seconds.
To change the time limit, use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons next to the entry
field.
