Friends;

Midnight Commander is a file management utility that is said to resemble 
the DOS utility Norton Commander:

Joe Bolin has written a CLI for Noobies article expostulating on the 
usefulness of Midnight Commander in a console for file management and 
launching. Midnight Commander is available through yum for Yellow Dog 
Linux, and can be invoked using the command "mc".

I note in passing that Midnight Commander is one of those elaborate and 
useful "command line" utilities that come awfully close to being a GUI. ;-)

Best wishes,
Clint
