Figure 26 - This is an example of the “General File Utility” screen. You may scroll through directories
and files, displaying their owner, group, permissions and size.
Although you may make few changes to the permissions on your system once they are set, you will find
that this screen offers you easier access to your file system and much more detail concerning your files than
is available through the common UNIX utilities. On entering this program note that SENTRY displays the
root path (/) at the top left of the screen. To the right, the number of entries in the currently displayed
directory is reported. In our example there are 32.
There are 20 easy-to-remember key strokes which you will want to learn to fully utilize the power of this
screen. Should you forget one, simply enter “H” or “?” for HELP. The following screen will be
presented.
