Remarks
Names in the list that begin with / are folders, otherwise files. The slash is only indicative, not part of the literal folder's name.

The status bar shows the free space of the selected or current media. If a file is selected it also shows the size of the file. If a folder, the number of items in the folder.

Double clicking on the up symbol ("..", when applicable) navigates up one directory level. On a folder navigates to that folder. On a file, the file is opened in the applicable application.

The file /apps/fexplore.asc is a value pair (name=value) file format of file type to application associations. Each key must be on a separate line. Blank lines and lines beginning with ; are ignored. The name should be the DOS like file extension (after the last dot) and the value is the full path to the program file to open that file type with. The name <default> is the application to use if an association does not exist. The <console> is the full path to the application to run none WIN programs.

The pre-installed default is notepad.
The extensions html and htm open with browse.
The email extension opens with emread.
The console is cmd.

A folder path can optionally be given as an argument on the command line of the initial folder's contents to view.
