Have you tried Disk Scanner (or is it called Directory Scanner?), a
shareware product by Nate Martino of the USNavy?  It lets you specify
the "built-in viewer" (I use LIST) AND the "built-in" editor (I use
PMATE on my machine, and have set up my wife's to use WordPerfect). 
Does everything I can think of.
