often. When you save a file, mg saves a backup of the file with a tilde (~)
character at the end.
+If you decide to open a directory instead of a file, mg will transistion into a
+mode called dired. Dired fills a buffer with the contents of the selected
+directory, one file or sub-directory's details per line. Some basic file
+management functions can be performed on the files and sub-directories in the
+buffer. For example, with the cursor over a specific file:
+
+ Pressing c will give you the opportunity to copy the file.
+ Pressing d will mark the file for deletion.
+ Pressing x will unlink files previously marked for deletion.
+ Pressing Return will open the highlighted file into it's own buffer for
+ editing.
+
+There are more dired commands, see the man page for further information.
