Clex - console - file manager in a .pet
No CLI freak am I, far from it, but I can see how this could come in handy if someday I bust something and X refuses to start. I've done that once already. It would be nice to have an alternative way to navigate in the CLI. It'll probably be a while before I try it as I have quite a few irons in the fire right now and I need to stay focused or I'll never get anything done. Thanks for your pet!
