259 % \section{General}
260 % In dired, you can edit a list of the files in a directory (and optionally
261 % its subdirectories in the `ls -lR' format).
262
263 % Editing a directory means that you can visit, rename, copy, compress,
264 % load, byte-compile files. You can change files' attributes, run shell
265 % commands on files, or insert subdirectories into the edit buffer. You can
266 % "flag" files for deletion or "mark" files for later commands, either one
267 % file at a time or by all files matching certain criteria (e.g., files that
268 % match a certain regexp).
269
270 % You move throughout the buffer using the usual cursor motion commands.
271 % Letters no longer insert themselves, but execute commands instead. The
272 % digits (0-9) are prefix arguments.
273
274 % Most commands operate either on all marked files or on the current file if
275 % no files are marked. Use a numeric prefix argument to operate on the next
276 % ARG files (or previous ARG if ARG $<$ 0). Use the prefix argument `1' to
277 % operate on the current file only. Prefix arguments override marks. Commands
278 % which run a sub-process on a group of files will display a list of files
279 % for which the sub-process failed. Typing y will try to tell
280 % you what went wrong.
281
282 % When editing several directories in one buffer, each directory acts as a
283 % page, so C-x [ and C-x ] can be used to move between directories.
