	Well, here's a quick speakup paste of a Debian CD download directory:

Icon {Name}                                   {Last modified}      {Size}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------[DIR] {Parent Directory}                                            -
[   ] {MD5SUMS.large}                          30-Aug-2010 08:46  3.2K
[   ] {SHA1SUMS.large}                         30-Aug-2010 08:46  3.6K
[   ] {SHA256SUMS.large}                       30-Aug-2010 08:46  4.8K
[   ] {SHA512SUMS.large}                       30-Aug-2010 08:46  8.0K

	As you can hear from the "icon" line, multiple links, 
highlighted in braces, can be displayed on a single line, so if you 
wanted the third link, you would type g3.  You would i=text to fill in 
edit boxes, i=+/- to use checkboxes, etc.  Just give yourself two days 
with it, and you'll probably start to really like it.  As the author 
says, it works just like the ed command, and most importantly, it's 
scriptable.
