    99This tutorial addresses the most often used commands in FM/2 -- the only
    10 commands that most "file managers" provide.  There are, of course, many
    11 more commands available in FM/2.  However, once you have the methodology
    12 for these basic commands mastered, other commands are easy to use.  Of
    13 course, if you're totally new to OS/2 PM and WPS, you should first run
    14 the OS/2 tutorial.  I'm not kidding -- PM programs have similar user
    15 interfaces, and it all begins with the WPS, so the OS/2 tutorial is a
