Comments:

When investingating some new set of files (for example, directories on just bought CD) it is convenient to browse files by extension. But if there are too many files, looking for all files with the next (alphabetically) extension can be a boring job.

Before running the script it is most pictorial to sort files by extension (cm_SrcByExt and similar commands). Third parameter, if absent, null string, or zero, allows to move the cursor to the first file with the next extension. Any other value of third parameter also selects all files with the same extension. It allows to learn their quantity and total size.
