You will be prompted to enter a name for the file. F)ull menu - Show a full menu of commands for currently selected file or directory. M)odify - Modify the name or location of selection. If multiple files have been selected, you will only be able to change the location. Choose between changing the name or location and then enter a new filename or path. R)emove - Delete currently selected files. T)ag - Tag the highlighted file. Multiple files may be tagged and all other commands except "Create" will be performed on tagged files instead of the one highlighted. Press “<em>t</em>” again to untag a file.

Otherwise, the above commands will not be available and <strong>Lynx</strong> will treat a directory listing as an HTML file.</p> </body> </html>
