I find F9/F10/F8 do everything I need in 4DOS, I tried filec and I didn't
find any advantages over 4DOS. I admit I had a problem with finger trouble
for a while under UNIX using ^[^[ and then going back to 4DOS, but I solved
that by mapping F9 in the Korn Shell to do ^[^[ so now they both work the
same(ish).
