How to get a list of all AutoText files in the left pane

[Kevin]

you mean comment?

auto is formatted as such
 Autotext list text is a list of items, each in separate line. Item format:

Text - text that you must type to execute statements.

• Can be used any characters, including spaces, tabs and line breaks.
  
• Can be used escape sequences.
  

statements - any commands that you can use in macros.

• To separate multiple statements, use semicolons.
  

also why always make auto text use multiline?  most common autotext  is a single replacement

then again i don't know what your selecting at the beginning of the function either.
