+ded (directory editor)
+
+ded (pronounced "dee–eee–dee") allows you to navigate through multiple
+file lists or a directory tree, viewing or changing file attributes
+rapidly. In addition to conventional file information, it operates on
+the file's RCS or SCCS archives (or CVS or SVN, etc), making it useful
+for source-control as well as system administration. Curses-based,
+it runs on UNIX systems.
+
+For those unfamiliar with ded, it's vaguely similar to Midnight Commander,
+or dired mode in Emacs, but with vi-like key bindings. Press h while
+ded is running to see its help screen.
