 - Now in the Browser the INFO screen appears only when the [PRG] key is

 - The up one level (updir) key was moved to the [LEFT] key.

   current directory, Not the one you were in before you launched the Browser,
   you can still Quit with the [ON] key and return to the original Directory.

   use memory at all (they operate in place), so you can Scroll the Browser
   Faster than ever!

    Faster.

   Browse a directory containing a large number of Files in no Time.
 - A new VIEW command was built (thanks to Mika Heiskanen), now you can

   environment.

 - Now the HOME program version no longer Exists! that's because of the new
