You mean in the form? It's FILEINCLUDE,FILEEXCLUDE there.
As for my .cfg file (found it at /usr/local/etc/analog.cfg), it does 
not contain either command.

So, if I use the fileexclude box, am I then required to put some 
wildcard(s) into the fileinclude box which precedes it on the form?

not sure the cgi spec ever even mandated any order for form parameters
(i've certainly never relied on any order in my own cgi scripts)
