Hi  Vadim,

Congratulations on your new version. You're making progress!

  Quote  You can disable file coloring by explicitly specifying the color of the constant.
DFColor=15 for all white!

I like the option to turn off the colors (DFColor=15). I'm considering implementing some kind of forced configuration. A nag screen that will be displayed until any configuration has been made.

I've made some changes to the latest demo. These are:
  Quote  - (passive) ScrollBars
- Alt/(BS) F-Keys reenabled
- overLoad ">" indicator, when more than RMax files in file list


FM02046.zip
update ->02046

Because I don't know if you're already familiar with the last INPUT routine, I've uploaded it here again. Three versions: Normal, Blinking, and for VT100.

Inpute.zip

You can now (conditionally) load directories with more than 200 (RMax) files. However, only RMax files can be processed!
I think this could be useful if the number of files in a directory is slightly exceeded. Then some files can be moved to another directory, or renamed, or...
This function is experimental and should be used with caution.

I also included the multi-selection (+,-,#,<) keys in the configuration section because I believe the selected keys work well for my German keyboard, but not for the rest of the world!
Because I don't own any foreign keyboards, I'm interested in feedback on this topic.

I've added the alternate F-keys again because Harm reported that the shift F-keys don't work for him.

The scroll bars are passive, meaning they can't be moved with the mouse. They're meant to indicate the position of the file selection cursor in the file list. For performance reasons, it only moves page by page.

Kind regards and happy Easter!
Michael
