***** DDIR 9.8 - IMPORTANT NOTE ***
If you are upgrading from a version of DDIR earlier than 9.3,
please note that the keys have been substantially changed. The
earliest versions had very few functions - basically the sort routines,
and the keys were mapped mnemonically. However, as more features were
added at the request of users it became more and more difficult to assign
keys reasonably logically. Hence, in version 9.3, I bit the bullet and
remapped the keys. If, as a user of an earlier version, you
find this confusing at first, please accept my apologies and take
comfort in the fact that it was, for a short time, just as difficult for
me! Thanks for your understanding, and I hope you find the new
configuration to be logical!
---------------------------
If you are upgrading from a version later than 9.3, you will find some
further changes. In particular the role of the up and down arrow keys has
changed. In earlier versions they were used to scroll the list of files
backwartds and forwards. In version 10.0 I have changed them so that they
move the highlight bar up and down in the list of files. The grey + and
grey - keys replace the former function of the up and down arrow keys.
I have also replaced the + key, which toggled file protection on and off,
to the p key (p = protect), to give compatibility with non-US keyboards.
The p key was formerly used for printing the list of files; this function
is now enabled with the Ins key.
