OFten the command line is faster than looking down the
list, finding what you want, either tagging it if you've got a
group of files to move, or drag and drop.
Ctrl-F is your friend, and it's not new to Windows Explorer.

USed that one when dealing with a gui and the windows
screenreader. But, remember, my reading speed is limited to
the speed at which I can comprehend spoken words when using
computers. wHEre you can scan that list with an eyeball
quickly, move your pointer to it, I"m having to listen to
see where my pointer is, make sure I"m where I think I am,
move up or down to the file i want. KEyboard shortcuts
help, but I still find my command line faster than any gui,
at least for me. I've got a couple of point and shoot file
manager type things around here, and at times I"ll use them,
but most times I"ll opt for type in the command.

Hey, I suspect they wouldn't consider such conditions to be "challenged" if
they weren't challenging! ;-) My intro to computers was on a brand
spanking new IBM 360 with a "punch card and printout UI", and good things
could be said about that, too, for example, it quickly discouraged many of
the bad habits of today's users. ;-)
