+\func{static void}{AddHandler}{\param{wxFileSystemHandler }{*handler}}
+
+This static function adds new handler into the list of 
+\helpref{handlers}{wxfilesystemhandler} which provide access to virtual FS.
+Note that if two handlers for the same protocol are added, the last one added
+takes precedence.

+
+You can call:

+\begin{verbatim}

-This static function adds new handler into the list of handlers.
-The \helpref{handlers}{wxfilesystemhandler} provide access to virtual FS.
+A stream opened with just the default {\it wxFS\_READ} flag may
