Thanks, Matthew. <blush> FileDir can seem overwheling at first because
of the number of commands available. Let me share these tips for
learning in case they help:
* Start by using the program like Windows Explorer, where arrow keys
navigate the items in a folder, Enter opens one, Control+A selects all,
and Control+C copies.
* Make use of the MDI environment, where Control+O opens another folder
to view and Control+Tab cycles among open windows.
* Use Alt+Shift+H for a hotkey summary, or Alt+F10 for an alternate
menu that lists every available command and its keystroke in a standard
listbox. You can use initial letter navigation there, Control+J to jump
to an item based on text it contains, or Alt+J to jump to the next
match.
