Yes, Lynx is a web browser, but if you open it to the current
directory it lists all your files and you can issue commands against
them. I have mine set up so if I don't give a web site it displays the
current directory. In /etc/lynx-site.cfg I have:
STARTFILE:. # Start in current directory
As I reread my earlier response it strikes me as a bit harsh. I did
not mean it to be; I just wanted to have some idea of what a "file
manager" does. As I said, I've got a limited imagination. About the
only thing such programs as Lynx and Emacs don't provide is a recycle
bin, and someone earlier this year suggested an alias for rm that
should do the trick. Don't remember exactly what it was but shouldn't
be too hard to create.
