FILE SYSTEMS DETAIL
This window is displaying a list of files belonging to previously
selected users of the previously selected disk partitions. From this
list of files you can you can perform the following operations to
further manipulate the files in the list box:
+ Edit Change the contents of the marked files
+ View View the contents of the marked files
+ Stats Displays statistics about the marked files
+ Delete Remove the marked files from the system
+ Backup Backup the marked files
+ chmod Change the read, write, and/or execute permissions of the
marked files*
+ chgrp Change the group(s) to which the marked files belong
+ chown Change the owner of the marked files
+ Custom Define and execute a UNIX command on the marked files
* NT doesn't really map the user,group,other and r,w,x permissions
(of chmod) of UNIX. NT only has a concept of modifying the
writeability by the user. For NT, files are always readeable by the
user.
Edit
Use this command to edit files (`vi'). Highlight the files you wish
to edit and click on the Edit button. A pop-up confirmation window
will appear. For each file, select: Yes to edit the file, No to skip
that file and go to the next one, All to edit all files, or Cancel
to abort the command. You MUST utilize standard `vi' commands to
edit any files. (Or a hex editor if this is a binary file.)
When you quit `vi' with the :q command, the following message will
appear: "Hit the Return key to continue". This action will close the
window and allow you to continue using other Enlighten options.

you wish to view and then click on the View button. A pop-up
confirmation window will appear. For each file, select: Yes to view
the file, No to skip that file, All to view all files, or Cancel to
abort the command. If you select Yes or All, Enlighten will activate
a window showing the contents of the file.
Once the (last) file is displayed, the following message will
appear: "Hit the Return key to continue". This action will close the
window and allow you to continue using other Enlighten options. You
can not use the View command to modify files.

files you wish to delete and click on the Delete button. Enlighten

status message will appear stating this.

Highlight the files you wish to backup and click on the Backup
button. A pop-up window will appear showing the different backup
devices available. Select one of them. Enlighten will then ask for

During the backup, a window will display the progress of the backup.
When the backup is complete, a summary log will be displayed in the
same window. Press the <return> key to continue using other
Enlighten options.
Note: If a selected file is actually a directory, only the directory
itself will be backed up. Sub-files and/or sub-directories of the
highlighted directory will NOT be backed up.

permissions of a file. Highlight the files you wish to change and

files belong. Highlight the files you wish to change and click on
the Chgrp button. A pop-up window will appear. Use this to specify
the new group(s).

append the name of the current file to the command before executing
it.
