I would strongly recommend that you buy DiskTop from CE Software (advertised
in May '87 MacTutor, I think..), which is a truly amazing Desk Accessory that
has loads of *USEFUL* features such as rename, delete, move, copy and setfinder
info on files. It also accepts the use of arrow/modifier keys, behaving like
Standard File.
