NOTE: As shipped, this screen lists objects chosen by Raz-Lee. Contact Raz-Lee Support before making any changes on this screen.

Each line on the screen refers to a single extension that is excluded from scanning. After the standard Opt column, the Extension field shows the extension to be excluded. An asterisk (*) means that one or more characters are in the string. Thus, *.ENG means any file names that end in ".ENG".

To add a new extension, press the F6 key. The Add Well-Known Extension screen appears. Type choices and press Enter.

To modify the information on an extension, enter 1 in the Opt column for that line. The Modify Well-Known Extensions screen appears. Type choices and press Enter.

To delete an extension from the list, enter 4 in the Opt field for that line. The Delete Extensions screen appears. Press Enter to confirm the deletion or the F12 key to cancel it.
