+    <p>You can enter a list of comma separated directories or files if you like. You will need to put " around any that have spaces in.</p>
     <p>On Windows you must use double slashes \\ in any directory names.</p>
     <p>The full filename of the file that actually changed is put into <b>msg.payload</b>, while a stringified version of the watched criteria is returned in <b>msg.topic</b>.</p>
     <p>msg.file contains just the short filename of the file that changed.</p>
