There's one thing that I really like about CMS that I've had to do without
in UNIX -- FILELIST. Until now.
The new version of Pine came with pilot, a stand-alone version of Pine's
file browser. Enter:
pilot
to display the directory list of your home directory, both directories
and files. Use Tab or an arrow key to highlight a file or directory
name, then type v or press Enter to view the contents of
the file or to display the selected directory. The .. directory
is the parent of the current directory; select it to move up in the directory
tree.
Pilot has other options: type e to edit a file (with pico),
c to copy, r to rename, or d to delete the selected
(highlighted) file. But my favorite is l (the letter "l") for "launch."
Type l and Pilot will ask you for the command you want to launch.
Type a command (and a space to follow it) and then press Ctrl-x;
Pilot will add the highlighted file's name to the end of the command. Press
Enter to execute the completed command.
