It is accessed by placing the mouse pointer somewhere inside a directory pane, and then clicking (and holding down) the right mouse button. A small menu with the following options appears: </P> <DIV> <IMG SRC="images/popupmenu.gif" WIDTH=89 HEIGHT=108 ALT="An image of the pop-up menu"> </DIV> <P> The items are, in order of appearance: <DL> <DT>Parent</DT> <DD>This goes up one directory level in the current pane.</DD> <DT>Other</DT> <DD>Set the path of the current pane to that of the other one.</DD> <DT>Rescan</DT> <DD>Clear pane contents, and rescan the path from the file system.</DD> <DT>Select</DT> <DD>Presents a submenu (as hinted by the little right arrow) with the following options: <TABLE BORDER="0"> <TR><TD ROWSPAN="4"><IMG SRC="images/popupmenu2.gif" WIDTH=57 HEIGHT=84 ALT="The select popup menu"></TD> <TD><SPAN CLASS="Font">Select all items in current pane.</SPAN></TD></TR> <TR><TD><SPAN CLASS="Font">Unselect all items in the current pane, thus clearing the selection.</SPAN></TD></TR> <TR><TD><SPAN CLASS="Font">Toggle the selected/unselected state of each row.
