RE: alternatives to dired

[ken]

When in emacs I do "C-h f dired", emacs says:

dired is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `dired'.

"Edit" directory DIRNAME--delete, rename, print, etc. some files in it.
Optional second argument SWITCHES specifies the `ls' options used.
(Interactively, use a prefix argument to be able to specify SWITCHES.)
[....]

Sounds like it might be helpful.
