 The file manager is a complete tool for managing all your DOS command needs.
 It has the same sort of features as programs like Norton Commander 3.0,
 QDOS, PCTOOLS, etc. With this you can manage all your needs and a little
 extra too.

 To change directory, press ^hCursor Right^n. To change to parent directory
 press ^hCursor Left^n.

 The colours are referred to as: Normal, High and Bold.
 (Default Terminate colours: Normal=Gray, High=Cyan, Bold=Yellow).

 The top is used to display which drives are available in your system.
 colours mean:

 Normal = Drive not present
 ^hHigh^n   = Drive present
 ^bBold^n   = Current drive

 ^b· ·^n Around a letter will show which path is available when pressing the TAB
 key. Small letters will always be CD-ROM drives (only when MSCDEX loaded).
 For a FAST change to another available drive, just hold down Ctrl and press
 the letter of the desired drive. Then the current directory on that drive
 will become current. Note that you can turn off drives to test in the
 configuration (general options 1) if some drives are too slow to test, like
 a CD-ROM or a tapestreamer used as a special drive. A and B will always be
 highlighted even though they may not be available.

 ^bK^n

  Mask is the wildcard mask when reading the files in the current directory.
  If you use *.EXE or *.GIF only those files will be used. You can also use
  jokers (?) which only replace 1 character in the mask.

 ^bP^n

  When pressing P you can enter the complete path manually. If you want to
  create a sub directory you can also use the command. Just enter the new
  path and you will be asked to confirm creation. (Like: MD MKDIR).


 The small window below will tell you the size and how much free space on the
 current disk. If the drive is a CD-ROM then it will say so and Free space
 will always be 0, since it isn't possible to write to a CD-ROM (at least not
 yet). Selected/Bytes/transfer time shows the status of files tagged and how
 long it would take to transfer them via modem, calculated on the CPS
 (characters per second) - which you can change when pressing T. Normally the
 maximum bps rate divided by 10 will give you this approximately.

 Below is an example window with directories and files. Any directories will
 be highlighted and will have <DIR> as size. It will show all information
 needed about the files in the current path, but you can also choose to have
 2 windows at the same time. Press ^hW^n to toggle windows, then you will not
 get so much information but you will be able to see and use 2 paths at the
 same time.

 Attributes are defined as follows:

 R = Read Only    Nobody can write/delete the file/directory
 H = Hidden       File/Directory is hidden when using the DIR command
 S = System       File/directory is used by DOS or other operating system
 A = Archive      This attribute is normally used to determine if the
                  file should be backed up, but it can be used for other
                  things also.

 Place the menubar on an entry and press A to change both the attributes on
 files and directories. The time shown after the attribute information is how
 long in minutes and seconds it would take to transfer the file with the
 current CPS.

 ^bMovements^n

  Use cursor-up/down keys to move up and down the files/directories.
  Terminate also uses QUICK-keys, which means you can press ALT-A..ALT-Z
  To move the menubar to the next file starting with that letter.

 ^bLeft cursor^n (^h<^n An arrow pointing to the left)

  Will change to the parent directory. If you are in C:\DOS and press left
  cursor you will be in C:\, nothing will happen if you are already in the
  ROOT directory. This is much faster than other systems which first want you
  to move up to a parent or .. dir and press return.

 ^bRight cursor^n (^h>^n An arrow pointing to the right)

  If you are positioned on a directory and press right arrow you will change
  to that directory. The reason why ^hRETURN^n is not used is because when
  you upload, RETURN will start the transfer. Please get used to using the
  arrows, then you will notice how MUCH faster it is to navigate your hard
  disk.

 ^b.^n

  If you press the period, all drives will be re-tested to see if they are
  available, including drives which were excluded at configuration.

 ^b\^n

  A backslash will change to the ^hROOT^n directory on the current drive

 ^b+^n

  Will tag all files

 ^b-^n

  Will untag all files

 ^b*^n

  Invert tags. All tagged files will be untagged and all untagged will be
  tagged.

 ^bSPACE^n

  Tag/untag file under menubar

 ^bTAB^n

  The filemanager can use 2 different paths, and you can switch between
  the paths by pressing TAB.

 ^bT^n

  Enter CPS (characters per second) to base calculations on with total
  selected files and for each file. The normal CPS is a little less than
  your baudrate divided by 10. (19200 = 1920, 14400 = 1440, 2400 = 240).

 ^bS^n

  Allows you to select how you want the files sorted in the current file
  window.

   ^hNam    ^nFilename
   ^hExt    ^nExtension, then filename
   ^hDate   ^nNewest files at top
   ^hSiz    ^nBiggest files at top
   ^hNo     ^nNo sort

 ^bC^n

  Copy file at menubar - if any files are tagged they will be copied to
  another directory. If no files are tagged and the menubar is on a file then
  you could copy the file to another filename, just like a rename but you
  will also have the original file. If you are on a network, copying a large
  file or many files could slow the server down so you can press ^hW^n while
  copying to enable the wait function after copying a file. Then Terminate
  will wait filesize / 100000 seconds between each file (min-max 1-12 sec.).

 ^bM^n

  Move file or files to another file directory, works just like COPY, but
  then deletes the file afterwards.

 ^bR^n

  Rename a file or a directory

 ^bD^n (^hDEL^n)

  Delete a file or a directory. You can also press the key called ^bDEL/DELETE^n.
  If you try to delete a directory and it is not empty, you will be asked to
  confirm deletion of the entire directory and all sub-entries, normally
  called a KILLTREE function.

 ^bA^n

  Change attributes (see above) of a directory or a file.

 ^bJ^n (^hAlt-J^n)

  DOS-shell, calls COMMAND.COM (COMSPEC) and lets you execute whatever you
  like. You can setup how to swap memory out first in the configuration.

 ^bU^n

  Compares the 2 paths and tags files either IN or NOT IN the other window.

 ^bN^n

  When you are online and want to upload some files, you will sometimes
  be asked to enter the filenames first. This function will send the
  filename on the current line and a space (in case of several files).

 ^bZ^n

  Will calculate the size of the current and all sub-directories.

 ^bV^n

  View the file under the menubar. Calls the external lister program.

 ^bE^n

  Edit the file under the menubar. Call the external editor.

 ^bF^n

  Finds a file. You can enter a wildcard (*,?) filename. The current drive
  will first be searched, then all available drives. You can press space to
  skip current search drive. Return to select file, or abort with ESC. When a
  file is found, the manager will change to the directory where the file is,
  tag the file and place the menubar on the file.

 ^bW^n

  Toggle between 1 window or 2 windows display

 ^bI^n

  Shows information on all available drives and if any drives are SUBST or
  remapped by a network. (Resolved path).
  You will be asked for a minimum free disk space warning value and an update
  timer, so you can update every x seconds. If you are on a network you can
  use it to monitor drives - so if the free space remaining on any drive is
  below the warn value, the size will flash and a beep sound.

 ^bX^n

  Edit extensions. Works almost like Norton Commander. Please look in the
  file TERMINAT.EXT for more information on how to set this up.
  Lots of extensions are defined as a default. Let's say you press return on
  a file called HELLO.TXT. Then the external editor will be called and you
  can edit the file. You can identify all the files where an extension has
  been found by the ^b·^n at the same line as the filename.

      ^m│ ^nAUTOEXEC.BAT  3-Apr-93 17:02   1229 ---A  0:00·^m│^n
                                                       \______found

 ^bO^n

  Here you can enter any command you like. When you then press return the
  command will be executed. You can enter a !M to swap out memory if this was
  not already selected in the configuration. But also a !F or !D which will
  be replaced with the name under the menubar and the current directory.

 ^bB^n

  Make this window the same path as the other window.

 The bottom line is all your external utilities which you can setup in the
 configuration. Look there for help on how to set these up. The programs
 are called when you press F1..F10 (also F11,F12).
