3The path list is a convenient way of storing a number of directories, and
4when presented with a filename without a directory, searching for an existing file
5in those directories. Storing the filename only in an application's files and
6using a locally-defined list of directories makes the application and its files more
7portable.
8
9Use the {\it wxFileNameFromPath} global function to extract the filename
10from the path.

55\func{void}{EnsureFileAccessible}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename}}
56
57Given a full filename (with path), ensures that files in the same path
58can be accessed using the pathlist. It does this by stripping the
59filename and adding the path to the list if not already there.
