The helpfile for /filter needs a little updating to reflect the addition of Dialog windows, and to make it read easier overall.
The infile can be a filename or a window name (custom or normal). The outfile can be a filename or a custom window name. You should specify the -fw switches if the names are ambiguous eg.
Should also/instead read:
The -f switch indicates that you have provided a filename as the input or output.
The -w switch indicates that you have provided a custom @window as the input or output.
The -i switch indicates that you have provided a [dialog id] custom dialog control as the input.
The -o switch indicates that you have provided a [dialog id] custom dialog control as the output.
I'm not completely certain why /filter cannot auto-detect if the <file/window/did> parameter is a dialog-id that exists.. and use -dd like -ff and -ww to reduce ambiguity. (yes, I know -d is in use by the single message window, I just mean any single letter instead of both -i and -o)
