Abstract: PROFILE V2.2 is a windowed environment that organizes your
system quickly and painlessly and allows you to perform many DCL
commands with a single keystroke. Copy, rename, delete files, change
directories, enter mail utility, spawn a command, all with the single stroke of
a key. 

SMG$ routines put everything into windows. One window for highlighted
file attributes and current UIC, another window to display broadcast
messages, and still another window to show the definitions of function keys.
The directories are brought up in another window, and subdirectories are
layered on top of this window to give you a visual representation of your
current location in the directory substructure. 

A setup file gives you the ability to customize the setup of PROFILE so that
every time it loads, it has the desired attributes and default directory. 

The window of files includes all files and directories in that specific
directory. Any of the files can be typed, edited, renamed, copied, and any
directory can be brought up by highlighting the name of the directory and
pressing the directory key. Another key will replace all the files with only
subdirectories. The wildcard feature will allow you to access only part of a
directory. For example: '*.BAS' will bring up a directory of files with a
'.BAS' extension.
