+% This file is intended to be processed by plain TeX (TeX82).
+% The reference card looks OK with 2 columns per page, portrait mode.
+% I haven't tried it with 3 columns per page.
+
+% This is a bit of a dirty hack on the GNU Emacs reference card
+% to produce a Dired reference card instead.
+
+% I (Evgeny Roubinchtein, eroubinc@u.washington.edu) put this together
+% because I wanted a Dired reference card,
+% but couldn't find anything on the 'net.
+% Based mostly off Dired's describe-mode.

+% \section{General}
+% In dired, you can edit a list of the files in a directory (and optionally
+% its subdirectories in the `ls -lR' format).
+
+% Editing a directory means that you can visit, rename, copy, compress,
+% load, byte-compile files. You can change files' attributes, run shell
+% commands on files, or insert subdirectories into the edit buffer. You can
+% "flag" files for deletion or "mark" files for later commands, either one
+% file at a time or by all files matching certain criteria (e.g., files that
+% match a certain regexp).
+
+% You move throughout the buffer using the usual cursor motion commands.
+% Letters no longer insert themselves, but execute commands instead. The
+% digits (0-9) are prefix arguments.
+
+% Most commands operate either on all marked files or on the current file if
+% no files are marked. Use a numeric prefix argument to operate on the next
+% ARG files (or previous ARG if ARG $<$ 0). Use the prefix argument `1' to
+% operate on the current file only. Prefix arguments override marks. Commands
+% which run a sub-process on a group of files will display a list of files
+% for which the sub-process failed. Typing y will try to tell
+% you what went wrong.
+
+% When editing several directories in one buffer, each directory acts as a
+% page, so C-x [ and C-x ] can be used to move between directories.
