User Documentation for ConDir
-----------------------------

The purpose of this program is to let you, the user, have access to
different file areas, including CD ROM drives, without having to read
through the normal DLG File Areas.  In addition, this helps the sysop
out by not forcing him to have a bunch of file descriptions taking up
space on his hard drive.

The program is relatively easy to use.  Most of the program control is done
with the number keys.  If you have an IBM or clone, make sure you turn on
your number lock.  Also, this program uses ANSI screen positioning AND
ANSI colors.  You will need to use a FULLY ANSI capable terminal program.

Here is an example screen:

The cursor (->) points to either a file or a directory located in the
current directory.  Directory names will be in a different color from the
files listed.  You can move the cursor with specific key commands which
are:

8 - Move the cursor up one time.  If the cursor is at the top of a listing,
    the program will attempt to go to the previous page.

2 - Move the cursor down one time.  Again, if the cursor is at the bottom
    of the listing, the program will display the next page.

6 - Move to the next page of listings.

4 - Move to the previous page of listings.

7 - Move the curser to the top position on page.

1 - Move the curser to the bottom position of page.

If the program determines that there are no more previous or next pages
or listings, nothing will appear to happen.

If you wish to look at a particular directory, move the cursor to that
directory (remember directories are in a different color) and press the
D key.  This then lists the files/directories in that particular directory.
If you wish to return back to the previous directory, hit the U key.

If you decide that you would like to download a particular file, move
the cursor to that file and hit G.  This will pop up a little message
telling you that it marked that file for later downloading and ask you to
hit the enter key.  When you are done marking files exit the program and
hit the D key once you return to the normal DLG File Area prompt.

You can also see a list of all the files you have marked so far by hitting
the R key. 

If at any time the display seems to be corrupted (ie, line noise), you
can hit the L key to redram the screen.  If you forget the key commands,
hit the H key for a help screen.

The Type option (T command) lets you display TEXT files.  This is really
useful especially since most CD ROMs have files.bbs or *.readme files
which have long descriptions of files.

If you have any questions, leave feedback to the sysop and he'll get back
to you as soon as possible.
