DESCRIPTION

12       About The Prime
13       ===============
14       Prime  is  a GNU software, part of the GnuDOS package.  Prime is a file
15       manager which works under the GNU/Linux console. It was  influenced  by
16       other  file  managers (like the well known XTree Gold which was popular
17       under MS-DOS). It provides a user friendly interface with menus, short‐
18       cuts, and key navigation. It is distributed as part of the GnuDOS pack‐
19       age which was developed to help users coming from DOS-like environments
20       feel ease when dealing with the GNU system.  Prime provides multi-level
21       experience, the level of complexity can be adjusted by  the  user:  you
22       want to use DOS-keys with a few basic GNU ones? you want to go with the
23       full power of the GNU system? All are options that are provided by  the
24       six levels of experience of Prime:
25
26         1- Newbie: All DOS shortcut keys, no GNU keys yet
27         2- Novice: DOS shortcut keys, some of which are replaced with GNU's
28         3- Intermediate: DOS keys with a few more replaced with GNU keys
29         4- ِAdvanced: ... And more GNU keys in
30         5- ِExpert: Very few DOS keys, most are GNU keys
31         6- ِVeteran: Only GNU keys, no DOS-like keys
32
33       You  start  with  level 1 by default.  To set your level, call the mino
34       with '--levelX' or '-lX' options,
35
36       Which keys are defined for which level?
37       =======================================
38       There is a table showing the DOS-like key combinations along with their
39       respective  GNU  key  bindings  in  the README file installed with this
40       package.  To read more about the levels of experience and the  keybind‐
41       ings, please refer to the README file under prime's help menu.
