- Double buffered screen, no artifacts when refreshing
- Integrated shell with fork/join process up to 124 characters of command line
- MSX standard

Requirements:

- MSX2
- MSXDOS2
- 256K Mapper (it needs 64K of free RAM on top of 64K of DOS)
- Mouse (optional)

Current available features:

Version 0.0.22:

- Basic navigation
- Prompt shell
- Execute programs with ENTER or double click
- Multiple selection (SELECT, +, - *)
- Recursive delete with progression bar (*)
- User Menu (MC.MNU) for custom commands

(*) Progression bars are visible only in multiple selection only. It counts the number of selected items instead of number of files inside each folder.

Some instructions:

- To access  the pull-down menu from keyboard press F9
- Swap panes: TAB
- Page Up/Down: Ctrl + Up / Down key
- To select: SELECT
- Select all: +
- Unselect all: -
- Invert selection: *
- To execute: press enter over one item or double click
- For the prompt shell: just type the command and press enter. you can edit the command line using cursor keys or mouse click

Don't forget to set alias in your autoexec.bat for file extensions like:

ALIAS .BAS = "BASIC "
ALIAS .ROM = "ROMLOAD "

In this way you can run those files with just the enter or mouse click.

Enjoy.
