Dired, the Directory Editor
===========================

   Dired makes it easy to delete or visit many of the files in a single
directory at once.  It creates an Emacs buffer containing a listing of
the directory.  You can use the normal Emacs commands to move around in
this buffer and special Dired commands to operate on the files.
