> The GNOME file manager is based on the GNU Midnight
Commander, and can be invoked from the panel's main menu or by
typing at the shell:
<P
CLASS="LITERALLAYOUT"

CLASS="PROMPT"
>$ </TT
><TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>gmc &</B
></TT
></P
>
</P
><P
> The file manager allows users to navigate their directories
and the rest of the filesystem with an easy graphical point
and click interface. GNOME Midnight Commander adds even more
functionality through its notion of <I
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
>Virtual File
Systems</I
> (<SPAN
CLASS="ACRONYM"
>VFS</SPAN
>): these are
abstractions which allow you to navigate files that are not on
your file system as if they were. Examples of virtual
filesystems are the ftp filesystem and the tar filesystem:
files can be accessed by anonymous ftp or by extraction from a
tar file, and Midnight Commander treats them in the same way
as local files.</P
><P
> Midnight Commander is powerful and vast, and it has its own
manual (available by typing <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>man mc</B
>) so I
will not give more detail now.
