. Try using Command Post 7.0, by Wilson WindowWare. You can use it as the main Windows shell, replacing FileMan and ProgMan together. It's available on CompuServe (GO WINAPA, #15) and a few other places I can't think of. I got my starter copy from the Boston Computer Society IBM User Group Software Exchange. Registration is $49.95 and gets you a printed manual and a disk of the latest version (I think it's up to Version M now). One of the best features of CP is customizable menus - it includes a language processor that lets you write your own functions. A recent product from WWW is Winbatch, which is essentially the language processor from CP, augmented and made into a standalone. It lets you write batch files for Windows, doing things like sending keystrokes to a running application. (I'm not connected with WWW, I'm just a satisfied user.)

I'm a big fan of Metz Desktop Navigator, available on cica.
It gives a PC Tools-like interface (directory tree on left,
files on right) and makes it easy for file and directory
manipulation.
