The Files list permits you to select multiple files to process as a group. When you single-click the left mouse button on a filename in the Files sub-window, a blue highlight bar appears over the filename. If you left-click on another filename, the highlight bar moves to that file. To select multiple files, hold down the Ctrl key as you left-click on each file you want. As you select or un-select filenames, the File Manager window updates a status line below the Files list to show some statistics on the files you have selected. The status line shows you the number of files you currently have selected, and the total size of these files in bytes (characters). For example, a 1000 byte file has a total of 1000 characters.
If you change the current directory or drive, the File Manager window forgets any files you may have currently selected. Therefore, you may only operate on files from one directory at a time.
