What may not have been mentioned is that it also is an admirable stand-in for FILELIST/FLIST. It displays the list of files and directories right in an editable file (called dir.dir). There are a couple built-in features for working with files/directories in the list (such as KEDIT a file, navigating through the directory structure, sortin g by various attributes), and I've added a couple of my own (such as ERASE a file, RENAME a file, REFRESH the list, make the displayed directory the current directory). It supports long filenames and allows you to change the columns set aside for the names. With the ability to write KEX macro s you can also do things to lists of files. It's also easy to make it invoke your macros with key sequences or from on screen buttons. </soapbox> Brian Nielsen
