Enter.

A title screen appears while XTREE reads your disk’s directory, and

then the XTREE menu appears.

When a directory is highlighted in the upper window, the

list is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This

list shows you the commands you can use to perform directory

management operations. When you press

End),

letter keys, function keys,
