- The CrossPoint Visual Shell (XP) offers extended facilities for copying,
- moving, executing, editing, viewing, and removing files and directories. There
- are over 50 built-in ``hot key'' commands, plus 52 user-definable hot keys.
- Context sensitive help is available at a keystroke
-
- XP provides two user interfaces, and two visual interfaces to the file system.
- The user interfaces are a scrolling menu mode, and a hot key mode. The
- scrolling menu mode is ideal for novice users, and the hot key mode offers
- single touch control of complex activities. A single keystroke changes between
- the two
-
- The visual interfaces compress a sorted list of files arranged in a ``n by m''
- (n and m are dependent on viewing are available) tableau accessible by cursor
- control for subsequent manipulation, and a visual tree, also accessible via
- cursor control
-
- XP provides a directory LocAid that allows you to enter one line of plain
- text for each file in the directory. Thereafter, while in LocAid mode, as you
- move the cursor amongst the file names, the one line description for the file
- your cursor is on will show up at the bottom of the viewing area
-
- XP also provides a command-line interface, including command-line history, and
- the ability to edit command lines.
