The following are long descriptions for the active control keys:

=============================================================================
Control Key     Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<DELETE>        Deletes the highlighted file from the file list. FileMan will
                also prompt you to see if you want the file physically
                deleted.

<ESC>           Returns to the main menu without saving the file list. You
                should only use this option if you do not want the changes
                you've made saved.

<F10>           Returns to the main menu and saves the new file list. This is
                the normal method for returning to the main menu. Use <ESC>
                instead of <F10> if you do not want the changes you've made
                saved.

<ALT><C>        Scans the file area for one or more files that aren't
                currently in the file list. If FileMan finds a file that is
                not in the file list it will add it to the file list and
                attempt to extract a FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI file to obtain a
                description for the file. If a FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI file
                is not available a description of "No Description" will be
                inserted for the file's description.

<ALT><D>        Set the date in the file list for the actual date of the
                file. FileMan will prompt you to see if you want to perform
                this operation for the highlighted file or for all of the
                files in the file list.

<ALT><L>        Sets the length in the file list to the actual size of
                the file. FileMan will prompt you to see if you want to
                perform this operation for the highlighted file or for
                all of the files in the file list.

<ALT><M>        Moves the highlighted file. After pressing <ALT><M> FileMan
                will display a list box for you to choose which file area you
                want to move the highlighted file to.

<ALT><R>        Reads either the highlighted file or all of the files for
                either a FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI description file. If a
                description file is found, FileMan will replace the file's
                current description with the contents of the description
                file.

<ALT><S>        Sorts the file list. The file list is sorted either
                alphabetically or by date. The type of sort is determined by
                the sort setting that you selected for the file area in
                TriMan.

<ALT><U>        Removes "Uploaded By" from a file's description. FileMan will
                prompt you to see ifyou want to perform this operation for
                the highlighted file or for all files in the files list.

<ALT><V>        Performs a virus check on a file. FileMan will prompt you to
                see if you want to perform this operation for the highlighted
                file or for all of the files in the file list. If the file is
                infected with a virus, FileMan will ask you if you want to
                delete it.

<ALT><W>        Writes a file's description as a new FILE_ID.DIZ file.
                FileMan will prompt you to see if you want to perform this
                operation for the highlighted file or for all files in the
                file list. If a FILE_ID.DIZ already exists in the file,
                FileMan will prompt you to confirm that you want to replace
                it.

<ALT><Z>        Converts a file to the BBS's default archive type. The BBS's
                default archive type is set in the system configuration using
                TriMan. FileMan will prompt you to see if you want to perform
                this operation for the highlighted file or for all files in
                the file list.  If a file doesn't have a recognized extension
                (ZIP, ARJ, LZH, LHA, SDN, PAK, ARC, or RAR), FileMan will
                compress the file with a FILE_ID.DIZ file generated from the
                file's description in the file list.
