8 The File Browser
******************

When in the Read-File (‘^R’) or Write-Out menu (‘^O’), pressing ‘^T’
will invoke the file browser.  Here, one can navigate directories in a
graphical manner in order to find the desired file.

   Basic movement in the file browser is accomplished with the arrow and
other cursor-movement keys.  More targeted movement is accomplished by
searching, via ‘^W’ or ‘w’, or by changing directory, via ‘^_’ or ‘g’.
The behavior of the ‘Enter’ key (or ‘s’) varies by what is currently
selected.  If the currently selected object is a directory, the file
browser will enter and display the contents of the directory.  If the
object is a file, this filename and path are copied to the status bar,
and the file browser exits.
