The first key for changing to a highlighted directory is the default; the
alternate call be substituted on the Configuration "Option Switches" screen.
The Directory-Change key presents an input field in which a drive and/or
directory may be typed. A history list of these entries is maintained,
accessible from newest to oldest with the UpArrow key or the reverse with
DownArrow.
4FILES can be configured to use directory changing utilities such as LCD, ACD
and NCD. This allows making a directory change by specifying only a fragment
of the new path name. From the configuration menu, select "Utility Ports" to
configure 4FILES to find the utility on your system.

Previous/Next Word = Ctrl-LftArrow / Ctrl-RgtArrow
(Other keys behave as expected)
