IMHO it's probably better to call in "helper" applications as and when needed than make the main program too bloated. That's if such a system is possible, of course. Peter would want to implement the file manager inside MMBasic when it was a stable closed program. Calling "helpers" may inviolate that. My personal opinion is that the core function should be to manage files in the file system (*). I am not sure what helper functions are needed, but an ascii table is not among  what I would see key for a file manager. Most functions that are now in the F9 menu I would also range in the category "information", and not "file managing". But opinions are individual, you may think different. Volhout (*) = primary functions = view/browse folders, move/copy/delete files between panes. secondar functions = view/listen/edit file content tertiary functions = file/folder compare I am still using fm 1.12, and I like it. Will try newer ones soon.
