file managers

[Chris Norman]

How do you issue the commands against the files?

I mean, is it "d" to delete or "CTRL+X" to move like in windows?

I'm interested, I haven't actually installed Linux yet, but my mum says I 
had a hardware synthesizer come with my HAL (for windows), so I should be on 
the road, but in the interim, I'm gathering all the information I can.

Cheers,

Chris Norman.
