COMMENTS

4DESC is a full-screen editor for file descriptions for MS-DOS filenames
and subdirectories.  It presents a sorted listing of the chosen directory,
similar to the SELECT directory, and allows you to add, modify, or erase
descriptions for each file and subdirectory.  You may cut and paste
descriptions from one file to another.  Press F1 while in the 4DESC editor
for details.

The 4DESC command line options are:

    /help  Display the help screen before editing.
    /mono  Force display to black and white (overrides auto-detection
           of monitor type).
    \path Edit file descriptions in another directory.
