Interface
The interface is a two pane file manager with a line down the center separating the left and right side panes. Each of the two sides can be a different directory (/usr on the left and /usr/local/home on the right for instance). This allows the move or copy of files from left to right. At the top of each pane the current directory that pane displays is showing and at the bottom is the on disk size of any FILE you have selected (it shows a - under filesize for directories).

You navigate the directory structure by highlighting a directory and pressing the button, this will make the current pane switch views to the new directory you are in. You can hit on the ".." to back up a directory level or press to do the same thing. The shoulder button will always bring you to the ".." directory so it's an easy shortcut to backing up ( + is the same as ).

You can move your cursor between the left and right panes by moving the /, which allows you to set two different directories to manipulate files between.

If you are on the left side, the "Copy" and "Move" Options have a ">" Indicating you'll move files from the left side to the right. If you are on the right side, the "Copy" and "Move" options have a "<" indicating you'll move files from the right side to the left.
