FilePro from Linux xterm or other terminal?

[John Esak]

I would be so proud of the Big Bang Theory... And so appalled and
embarrassed at the Che Guevara. When I was young, stupid and virtually
illiterate, I used to wear a T-shirt with his picture on it. Now that I have
educated myself about him and his real history, I am ashamed of myself for
being that stupid.  There is such truth to most old adages, and "Live and
Learn" is probably the most important among them.

But how funny the cross connects and algorithms that brought these
associations to Howie's name?  It is both an approbation and affirmation of
the utility of our almost magical search engines.
