Chris, if I select an item and then right arrow, this doesn't show me status
info but it takes me to another item in my list. For instance, if I select
an item numbered 14 and then right arrow, it will go to, say, file 20
because the items are in a list view sorted by name. Is there something I
left out or did you mean a different key for taking me to the status line?
Thanks.

Try this:
1. Arrow to the file as usual.
2. Press right arrow. You will see that the information is presented in
a more accessible format, i.e., read only fields instead of text that
can only be seen with the status bar. Also, if you down arrow from that
position it will remain in that position. Explorer is kind of in an
Excel layout now.
