fm
Purpose
File manager program. Allows navigation through a directory structure, searching for files and searching the contents of files, viewing the values of all environment variables, and other facilities.
Syntax
fm [ directoryname ]
Description
If the directory name is not supplied, the current directory will be assumed.
Displays a screen either of files or directories within current directory. Selection of file or directory view is by the TAB key. An alternative display mode can be selected, where files and directories are mixed in one window, as Windows File Manager does.
