You have two options. You could create the db with only .h files
in it or you could just load all the files and use a "view" that
only holds the .h file.

The first option can be done like so:

% cd $THE_TOP_DIR
% find `pwd` -name "*.h" > dot_h.list

% snavigator --create --import dot_h.list

The second option can be done from the
project editor. You type a view name
like "dot_h" into the "View" box and
hit enter. That will create a new
view that you can delete the
other files from.
