Long Description:
-----------------

   File Manager StepUp (or, briefly, FM StepUp) is a utility that
   dramatically improves File Manager. Instead of replacing File
   Manager, FM StepUp simply makes it better. When you install FM
   StepUp, additional commands are added to File Manager's menus,
   and existing commands are enhanced.

   Here is the list of the features the File Manager gets with the
   FM StepUp:

   o    Enhanced File Managers dialog boxes, including history
        lists, browse buttons, verify check boxes, etc.

   o    Commands to easily create, view, edit or print arbitrary
        files, not necessarily associated with an application.

   o    Customizable Execute Menu provides an easy way to access
        frequently used applications and perform pre-programmed
        operations on currently selected files.

   o    Customizable Quick Menu, instantaneously accessible with
        the right mouse button, contains the most frequently used
        commands and keeps track of the execution history of other
        commands.

   o    A number of special commands are provided to make you more
        productive: Total Size, allowing to figure out the size of
        a directory including all subdirectories; Change Date /
        Time, allowing to change date or time attributes for a
        file; Run Screen Saver; Return To DOS; Restart Windows;
        Reboot System.

   o    FM StepUp allows you to restrict certain features of the
        File Manager in the same manner as you do it for Program
        Manager. This is particularly valuable for use by
        corporate system administrators.

   o    Complete context-sensitive Help is available from all
        dialogs. The Help file provides a complete user's guide
        for FM StepUp.

   o    FM StepUp is highly customizable. User can control
        virtually every aspect of the FM StepUp, from choosing its
        menu name to specifying which dialog boxes to enhance.

Try it - and you won't believe you worked without FM StepUp
before.

The way software should be!

Quotes from Reviews, Articles and Users:
----------------------------------------

   "FM StepUp ... does all manner of clever things. It adds 3D
   effects (a la Word 6 or Excel 5) to the dialog boxes, gives you
   a command-line history in all sorts of places ... and provides
   right-click pop-up menus in a variety of useful places ... FM
   StepUp is certainly good enough to try."

        Windows User UK, June 1994


   "The standard dialog boxes gain a history list of recently used
   commands and that attractive 3D look. However ... the best
   thing about this is the pop-up menus. Right click on a file and
   a menu pops up giving you a bunch of options, like viewing the
   file, editing it, running it, printing it, and so on ... once
   you have started using it you'll never want to give them up!"

        Australian PC User, June 1994
