Hello,
	Has anyone here heard of, seen, heard rumors about, are working
on an X implememtation of a file manager, much like the ones that
proliferate in the Public Domain in I*M PC land.

	It would show you a list of files in the CWD along with subdirs,
. and .. and then let you perform an action on any one or multiple
files. ( eg. cp, rm, lpr ... etc. )  A command like Show, would let
you view the contents of a file or directory.

	Something like the d*sshell that comes with D*S 4.0.

Sorry for the "four-letter words" spattered though this posting.
....Paul F
