Sorry, I don't follow that.  Isn't F3 command-repeat a function of DOS?

I'd like CTREE to have the ability to show files present in the target that 
aren't present in the source, but he already has that on his list.  IIRC, a 
note on his Web site says he isn't actively working on CTREE owing to 
pressure of other projects.  Another note said "Coming soon, a Norton 
Commander clone."  I'd be quite happy if people dissuaded him from wasting 
his time making another NC-clone as plenty of good ones already exist, 
whereas CTREE-type programs are much rarer, and ones that are Windows LFN- 
aware rarer still.

Yes, it's a pain  :-(  Typical Windows, trying to be too clever.
