The program you describe is what the "dired" routine in Emacs should have
done, but never did.  i have a stand-alone version that meets most of your
specs running under VAX/VMS.  It would require a few changes to the routines
that parse the directory files, but could be made to run under Unix.  i was
thinking of building Xlisp into it, so users could write their own filters,
etc.  It is/was a fun project, but i find that as long as i can wildcard
the system's copy, move,delete, and type commands, it is faster
to work without the Diredit program.
