However, it needs to be an easy GUI feature. Anything that requires a terminal is far beyond what we can expect a teacher or child to do.

However, it needs to be an easy GUI feature. Anything that requires a terminal is far beyond what we can expect a teacher or child to do. I have recommended the Midnight Commander file manager for this purpose. sudo yum install mc It is a full-screen character-mode program that runs in Terminal, so it needs no Sugarizing. Among its features are sorting, filtering, selecting multiple items or groups of items, and two-click copying or moving of selections, whether files or whole directories. We would need to write some lesson plans in order to give this to children. MC is not suitable for copying to and from the Journal, but it handles everything in plain files, and simplifies using the scripts given on the page you referenced. See also http://booki.flossmanuals.net/command-line/edit/ written for the Free Software Foundation. (I am one of the authors.) Unlike conventional command-line textbooks and manuals for those planning to be developers or sysadmins, this describes only what users need to know. It is not directly suitable for young children, but again we could use it as the basis for lesson plans.
