To K. Petersen and others:

I hope I'm not asking the overly obvious but here goes...

The "New Files" message just sent out over the net demonstrates a problem I
have that there may already be a solution to:

How do you find out what any one of these particular programs, library files,
etc actually is - is there a "one line description" for listed files somewhere
that says even as little as "xmodem program for CPM APPLE II", or "Terminal
driver for ACME PCs"... you get the picture.  Without such a blurb, the only
possible clue for what a file may be is the directory its kept in, which is a
very general catigorizing of things at best.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
