264 % \section{General}
265 % In dired, you can edit a list of the files in a directory (and optionally
266 % its subdirectories in the `ls -lR' format).
268 % Editing a directory means that you can visit, rename, copy, compress,
269 % load, byte-compile files. You can change files' attributes, run shell
270 % commands on files, or insert subdirectories into the edit buffer. You can
271 % "flag" files for deletion or "mark" files for later commands, either one
272 % file at a time or by all files matching certain criteria (e.g., files that
273 % match a certain regexp).
275 % You move throughout the buffer using the usual cursor motion commands.
276 % Letters no longer insert themselves, but execute commands instead. The
277 % digits (0-9) are prefix arguments.
279 % Most commands operate either on all marked files or on the current file if
280 % no files are marked. Use a numeric prefix argument to operate on the next
281 % ARG files (or previous ARG if ARG $<$ 0). Use the prefix argument `1' to
282 % operate on the current file only. Prefix arguments override marks. Commands
283 % which run a sub-process on a group of files will display a list of files
284 % for which the sub-process failed. Typing y will try to tell
285 % you what went wrong.
287 % When editing several directories in one buffer, each directory acts as a
288 % page, so C-x [ and C-x ] can be used to move between directories.
