Emacs, when in a DIRED buffer: you go down the file-list and mark this one and that one and this other one "D" -- to be deleted from the disk, ie from the computer. A somewhat dangerous operation, if you've made a mistake and marked-D some files you actually want to keep. So, what emacs dired-mod does is, when you hit "x" (char, bound to a delete command), if first creates a clear area of screen, and and shows in that space the *names* of *all* the files you marked "D" on and that it is now just about to actually delete (due to you hitting the "x"). So, you scan your eyes over all those names, and only if you are happy with what you've chosen, you reply "yes" to your x-caused prompt "delete these files?", it then actually deletes them. Similar scheme would be nice, someday, in trn. (So that we don't by mistake delete that followup-post from the boss, before even reading it!) So, maybe someone'll add this to the to-do-someday list.
