+.SS Hiding Dotfiles
+
+By convention on Unix and many other systems, files or directories
+whose names begin with a dot ('.') are usually used as configuration
+files (directories).  Unless you specifically want to edit a
+configuration, you typically do little or nothing with these files.
+Since there can be quite a few of them on a modern system, it's
+helpful to be able to block them from view.
+
+By default, dotfiles are not hidden, but this can be changed with
+the HIDEDOTFILES configuration option.
+
+By default, files or directories whose names begin with a period (".")
+are considered dotfiles.  You can change this dotfile "introducer"
+string with the DOTFILE configuration option.
+

+.B Toggle Dotfile Hiding (TOGHIDEDOT)
+Control-9
+
+This toggles dotfile hiding, on- and off.  The program starts up
+with dotfiles visible or hidden as defined by the HIDEDOTFILES
+program option.  Thereafter, TOGHIDEDOT can be used to make
+these files and directories visible or not.
+
+.P
+Unlike Wildcard Filters (which test the entire displayed line),
+dotfile hiding is triggered only by the 
+.B name
+of the file or directory.
+
+If you change DOTFILE to some other string, be aware that the test to
+see if a file (or directory) name starts with this string is
+.B case-sensitive.
+If you set DOTFILE to "De", it will not hide files starting with "de",
+for example.
+
+The current state of dotfile hiding is displayed in the window title
+bar, immediately after the Filter information.
+
+Note that even though you cannot see the files with this option
+enabled, commands you write can still operate on these files.  For
+example, if you define a command that does something like:
+
+.ft C \" courier
+.nf
+     c cleandot rm .*~ 
+.fi
+.ft \" revert
+
+
+This command will remove any backup (~) files, whether or not you can
+see them in the interface.

+.B DOTFILE [String] (.)
+
+It is a convention on Unix (and other systems) that files or
+directories whose names begin with a period are program configuration
+files (directories).  \fCtwander\fP has the ability to hide these
+so-called "dotfiles". (See the section above entitled
+.B Hiding Dotfiles
+for the details.)  \fCtwander\fP treats any file or directory whose
+name begins with the string defined by DOTFILE as a dotfile for this
+purpose. 
+
+For example, if you set \fCDOTFILE=Xyz\fP, all files or
+directories whose names begin with "Xyz", will be hidden when you
+tell \fCtwander\fP to hide dotfiles.  Notice that if you change this
+option from its default, you may use any string to be the dotfile
+"introducer", but it is always treated with case-sensitivity.  For
+instance, in our example, files beginning with "XYZ" would not be
+hidden.
