To be honest, I did not use many programs such as that, because I found it
easier to get to the CLI and do what I wanted.  I know it is technically as
easy as clicking an icon under OS/2 (and Win9x), but working from the CLI never
seems to work quite like it did.

I did use SHEZ some in that manner, under DOS, though.

I should have also mentioned "or like Midnight Commander" that comes with
Debian.  ;-)  I like it a lot, too.  For X, I sometimes use konqueror or
gentoo.

I cannot find an option to set all drives (or even one drive) to default as
"open as list."  I do like how that works, though, better than the default.
