Todd,

You got me going in the right direction.  At Freshmeat I found 130 some
applications under the topic of "file manager".  I found what I'm
looking for in an application called TkDesk.  It runs on any X window
system using Tcl/Tk, has 2 panes, and supports drag and drop.

I did check into the file managers you mentioned.  The problem for me
with Midnight Commander, Nautilus, and Konqueror is they require either
the Gnome or KDE desktop environments.  I want to avoid the overhead
involved in running a whole desktop system.  I'm using the fvwm window
manager which has a very small footprint and since the machine functions
only as a personal server, I don't want to load a heap of bloatware on
it.  I only use its X windows to do maintenance.

Thanks a ton.  You guys are always a big help.

  - Craig

Midnight Commander has supported the mouse inside an xterm for a very
long time now, and Gnome Midnight Command has a full GUI. And
personally, I don't find it difficult to open a second file manager
window for drag and drop, so I really can't advise you on other
dual-paned file managers. I still think Sourceforge/Freshmeat is your
best bet.
