Try dired.  It's a standalone binary that mimics the dired mode
of emacs.  It's a directory editor (giving you an ls -l type full
screen display) that you can move around with vi-like keystrokes
(and I think arrow keys on smarter terminals).  Key strokes let
you delete, rename, edit and view files (some of these need to be
external programs such as an editor, or a pager such as 'more',
'less' or 'pager').  

Check your favorite comp.sources.reviewed archive site (such as
wuarchive.wustl.edu) and look through the index to find it.

Requires C++ to compile.

[This would be a nifty djgpp project.  However, the most recent
source (which you have to get from the author) requires
templates, and i'm not certain how well templates are supported
in g++ just yet....]
