how do you process for multiple filemasks?

eg: find ts??????.sel and t???.sel for the same processing run


====== snip filemask.pas ======
Program Filemasks;

Uses
  SysUtils, StrUtils, Classes;

var
  dirSR : TSearchRec;
  flist : TStringList;
  fmask : string;

begin
  if paramstr(1) <> '' then
    begin
      fmask := paramstr(1);
      writeln('looking for files that match "'+fmask+'"');
      writeln;
      flist := TStringList.Create;
//      try
        flist.Sorted := False;
        flist.Duplicates := dupIgnore;
        flist.CaseSensitive := False;
        if FindFirst(fmask,faAnyFile,dirSR) = 0 then
          begin
            repeat
              flist.Add(dirSR.name);
writeln(PadRight(IntToStr(flist.count),6) + ' ' + flist.Strings[flist.count-1]);
            until FindNext(dirSR) <> 0;
            {$IFDEF FPC}
            findclose(dirSR);
            {$ENDIF}
          end;
        writeln;
writeln(PadRight('found ' + IntToStr(flist.count),5) + ' files matching "'+fmask+'"');
//      finally
//        if assigned(flist) then
//          freeandnil(flist);
//      end;
    end
  else
    writeln('please specify a file mask - eg: *.foo');
end.
====== snip ======

as seen above, i also attempted to use try...finally in the above but fpc always complained about the next line...
