  Directory items are all files and subdirectories in actual directory. In  this
window you can see drive items  and item named <HOME-DIR>. This item  represents
directory, in which the playlists are  being saved and you  can set it using  -H
switch. More information about this you can find in "switches" section.  Colours
of individual items are following:

          white .... playlists
          yellow ... modules
          green .... directories
          magenta .. drives
          cyan ..... homedir
          red ...... invalid file

  Playlist items are  files  stored  in  playlist  memory.  This  items  can  be
highlighted or not. If it's highlighted, item's not been played yet. You can re-
set playlist (all items highlighted) using CTRL + R key (see "keys" section).

  Item info is a small  window, in which is  always displayed detail info  about
selected item. Information is following:

          Item name
          Detail or full name (when playlist or module selected)
          Size (same as detail name)
          Date and Time (playlists, modules and directories)

  In the last window, in layout picture is named "actual dir, status and message
line", is usually displayed full path including drive letter or, when program is
waiting for user,  message or question.  You can enter  name and decription  for
playlist in this window, too.

    ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ

  You can  change some  parameters of  FS using  switches, what  are entered  in
command line or .ini file of your player. FS accepts following switches:

     -L[-]
         If this switch is on, FS loads (if they're some items in the playlist,
         FS will add them  to existing playlist) and  plays playlist. If it  is
         off, FS only loads or adds playlist.

     -J[-]
         If it is on, FS starts when playing file(s) from command line is
         finished.

     -Y[-]
	 This switch disables 'Apend / Clear' question before loading new
	 playlist.

     -Q[-]
	 Disables sorting files (if you have slow machine and many modules in
	 any directory).

     -H:<full_path_name>
         Set homedir location. (example: "-H:d:\modules")
