         To open a file, a file all you need to do is type a few characters from its name.
         <p>
         In the example on the left, I want to open a file from the solution.  I can't
         remember where
         it is but I do know it has "monster" somewhere in its file name.
         <p>
         As I start typing "monster" the list quickly gets narrowed down until I see the file
         I want and click on it to open it.
         <p>
         You can search for multiple sub-strings in a file name if you put a space between each one.
         For example, if I typed "graph" and "wnd" the list would show only those files with "graph"
         and "wnd" somewhere in their names.
