- Dired is a directory editor modelled after Dired Mode of GNU Emacs,
- but targetted for non-emacs users, designed for the UNIX environment.

- The filename in the line containing the cursor is known as the current
- file. There are numerous of commands available for operating on the
- current file. These include copy, delete, edit, view, chmod, chgrp,
- compress, rename and uncompress. Hence by simply positioning the
- cursor on the appropriate filename, one can do many of the "usual"
- UNIX operations on the files in a directory without bothering to
- spelling out the command and filename each time. If you edit a
- directory, you get a directory listing of that directory. In this
- manner it is possible to walk up and down a directory tree from within
- dired.
