Hi Bill,
You might also want to try out xplorerª. Like PowerDesk, it allows a
dual-pane horizontal view, and has many other neat features such as
tabs, in-built file preview etc. Also, I don't think any other free file
manager matches its speed when browsing folders.

well, as a matter of fact, I DID have xplorer² installed, but not as
an icon in my quick-launch program, so I was not playing with it much.
I see that it really does have many features, though some are not
'quite' as intuitive as I am used to. The dual pane horizontal
feature, as implemented, I will have to think about, as it keeps only
the one instance of the main directory tree, requiring me to remember
to switch panes before I try to navigate. At first, I couldn't tell
which pane was 'active' (in focus), but I finally found the option
that allows choosing a color for the INactive pane. That works, though
I would prefer to have the option for both panes. (Iam used to just a
colored title bar as reference, and that has always seemed like
enough)
Those niggling little items aside, I see many features that are quite
impressive, like viewing images and playing music files in the
'preview' window.
I see items in the menu that are not yet clear what they do, so I
downloaded the 'help' file, and will look thru it.
I am reminded of an old saying:
"A man with a good watch always knows what time it is. A man with two
watches is never sure."
