Re: [orca-list] would somebody from this list do somethink to find console based file manager for most Linux distros?

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

In the menu system for the console that I have released and which is 
available on the speakup ftp server under the goodies directory, there is 
a file browser called pickafile.
It was written to be speech-friendly, but does not have all the bells and 
wistles you would find in other programs.
Search for kies under goodies to find the readme and the tar.bz2 file.
HTH, Willem
