Description
This generically named file browser offers a convenient pseudo-GUI solution for your file browsing needs. Files and directories are portrayed with ASCII icons and standard functions are available in menus. Scroll up/down, close, and back "buttons" are present on the window-like screen border, but their functions can also be accessed with keys. Suggestions and constructive criticisms are appreciated!

Controls

Left Click = Perform default action
Right Click = Open menu

Feel free to use/modify my code as long as you credit me as the original author. That goes for anyone who is interested.

Locate the drawBorder() function and append:

output(2, 1, "[SExplorer]")

Also, is it possible to change the cursor? I want to change it to a +

[inventor2514]

Changing the cursor is not currently possible as I used the built-in cursor from the term API, but I might add support for custom cursors in a future update.

[tfoote]

Nice! I have to create something similar to that so Thanks for the Excellent Example!

[inventor2514]

Just updated to v1.1! I'm surprised that my bug wasn't noticed; I also tweaked a few things.

[Mendax]

So how do I change the cursor?

EDIT: While using custom cursor, it bugs when using a menu.

I just updated; this should be fixed now.

[inventor2514]

Updated to v 1.3.0! Aside from fixes to bugs that may arise, this should be the last update for a while.

[inventor2514]

Minor update this time; nothing fancy.
