DESCRIPTION
ffe is an intuitive program for file handling and downloading.
it needs vt100 emulation. the screen is splitted in two parts
where on the top is list of files and on the bottom is
showed description of the file. if ffe can't find descrtiption
file, it tries to read file's filenote and shows it, if it can
be found. ffe needs xpr for file transfers.
new features in 1.5: new files are displayed BOLD. all the
directories which contains new files are also showed BOLD.

a file is new to user.
