Hello all, my first post here, and I've recently started coding elisp.
I want a simple method of interactively selecting multiple files or
directories, and passing the selection list to an external program.
My first thought was to tweak dired mode, so that I could just navigate
around dirs, marking files and dirs that I want (with 'm') and then
have a special key call dired-do-shell-command with something to
append each marked entry to a text file.
Question: is there something simpler than dired to tweak? All I really
need is the directory navigation and marking capability.
