[An earlier version of this program was posted to CSR on April 3, 1992.
This is an revised, improved version.]

Dired is a directory editor modelled after Dired Mode of GNU Emacs,
but targetted for non-emacs users, designed for the UNIX environment.
It implements a window into the current directory consisting of lines
of the form:

    -rw------- 1 mjlx     staff        2002 Apr 11 15:17 c++-motif
    -rw------- 1 mjlx     staff       51399 Aug 11 1990  c++browser.tar.Z
    -rw------- 1 mjlx     staff         970 Mar 14 18:44 callback
    drwx--x--x 2 mjlx     staff         384 Jun 21 16:32 cfront
    -rw------- 1 mjlx     staff        2152 Dec 17 1990  cfront-sun4.1.bug.Z
    drwx------ 3 mjlx     staff        2048 Aug  1 13:04 dired
    -rw------- 1 mjlx     staff        2033 Jan 25 1991  link-bug.C.Z

The filename in the line containing the cursor is known as the current
file.  There are numerous of commands available for operating on the
current file.  These include copy, delete, edit, view, chmod, chgrp,
compress, rename and uncompress.  Hence by simply positioning the
cursor on the appropriate filename, one can do many of the "usual"
UNIX operations on the files in a directory without bothering to
spelling out the command and filename each time.  If you edit a
directory, you get a directory listing of that directory.  In this
manner it is possible to walk up and down a directory tree from within
dired.
