<h2><a name="basics">Basics:</a></h2>
<ul>
 <li>
Every lister is scrollable with the right mousebutton.
The scroll-direction depends on the position of the cursor. The scroll-speed depends on the gap between the cursor and the edge of the lister.
 </li>
 <li>
Many buttons have more than one function. Every button with two functions has a donkeyear at the right upper edge. To execute the second function perform a right click at the button.
 </li>
 <li>
You can use the RETURN and the ESC key within every requester. If there are more than 2 buttons, RETURN represents the most left one and the ESC the most right one.<br>Furthermore you can select the buttons by pressing one of the F-keys. The left button can be selected by using F1, the second with F2 and so on.
 </li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="mainwin">Mainwindow</a></h2>
<center><IMG SRC="../pics/b1.png" ALT="Usage" WIDTH="611" HEIGHT="519"></center><br>
The biggest part of the window is reserved for the listers and the button-bank. The two listers can display two different directories and <A HREF="usage1.html">select files</A>.<BR><BR>You can use the buttons by clicking with the left button 
or, if there is a second function defined, with the right button on it.
<ol>
<li><u>Programinformation</u><br>
Displays e.g. the version and the address of the homepage.</li>
<li><u>Configuration</u><br>
This opens the <A HREF="config.html">Configurationwindow</A>.</li>
</ol>
You find the status-display next to it. Normally this shows the number of files and dirs, how many items are selected, size,...<br>
Depending on the function you execute, it can display other information too.
<BR><BR>
<ol start=3>
<li>Beneath it you see the <u>ListView-Bars</u>. By using the right-mouse-button on them you can <A HREF="usage2.html">configure</A> the respective lister.</li>
</ol>
Only one lister can be the current one. You can control the current lister with the keyboard and the bar will be marked with a different color. It also shows 2 additional informations.
<ol start=4>
<li>'H' means - if visible - that hidden files are not displayed.<br>'*' means that display-filters are in use.
</li>
</ol>
In the lower part you see the buttonrow.
<ol start=5>
<li>The first column contains paths only. By using the right-mouse-button on this bar you can switch to the next bar with additonal paths.

</li>
</ol>

<h2><a name="vfs">Virtual file system</a></h2>
Worker 2.10.0 supports a virtual file system for accessing different archives and remote computers. Read
the documentation of AVFS used for this virtual file system for detailed information but here are some
basics about it:<br>
<ul>
 <li>The character &quot;#&quot; can be appended to a filename in order to enter an archive. For example, entering the
path &quot;/tmp/test.tar.gz#&quot; will show the content of the archive. The character can also be used
inside archives to enter another archive.</li>
 <li>The &quot;#&quot; character is actually only a shortcut. AVFS tries to determine the correct
handler for the given archive automatically using the file extension. But you can force this handler
yourself if the file has a different extension. Example: /tmp/test_tar_gz#ugz#utar means that this file
is accessed using the gzip and the tar handler.</li>
 <li>The default Worker configuration already contains filetype definition for the most common archive
types so you don't need to enter the character in most cases. A simple double click on an archive will
display the content.</li>
 <li>The virtual file system supports ftp connections. Because it is somewhat more complicated to
establish a connection, there is &quot;FTP connection&quot; command which does all necessary steps.</li>
 <li>Most virtual file system operations are read-only so creating files inside archives or on remote
ftp sites is not possible at the moment.</li>
</ul>
