Comments:

  Orthodox file managers are file managers that follow a two-panel
  paradigm, and are heavily influenced by Norton Commander.
  They are simple to use by mouse or keyboard to copy / move one or more
  files or folders from an active to a passive side, to execute files,
  to view or edit them, to sort or filter them, to search a special file
  within the whole HD or a special folder, to zip or unzip files / folders
  etc. etc.
  Means: You can execute a lot of things without the need to type a lot
  of commands.

Example:

  In this example the left side is the target (e.g. "C:\GAMES\GAMEXY")
  and the right side is the source (e.g. CD-ROM drive "D:\GAMEXY").
  You want to copy the content of the source (CD-ROM drive) to
  "C:\GAMES\GAMEXY" and read "readme.txt" (most games have a documen-
  tation) and then execute the game from there.
  Start the file manager. There are two sides. Choose the drive letter
  "C:" on the left side and "D:" on the right side (can usually be done
  anywhere on top of the left / right side (dn2: bottom), position
  varies). Then go to your target side, ("C"), navigate to your destina-
  tion folder a doubleclick or ENTER on ".." means: go back to root
  step by step (e.g. from C:\FREEDOS\BIN to C:\FREEDOS and one more ".."
  to C:\). In case that C:\GAMES does not exist create it with the
  correct Fx key (usual: F7) or go into the folder by double clicking
  (or: ENTER) on the folder name GAMES (folders are shown in UPPERCASE
  LETTERS, files in lowercase letters OR in different colours). Create
  the subfolder GAMEXY with key Fx (usual: F7) and go inside with a
  doubleclick or ENTER on GAMEXY.
  When you are at the correct target position the left headline should
  show the correct path (e.g. "C:\GAMES\GAMEXY" and a ".." below).

  As a next goto the right side, navigate through till you are at "D:\"
  (see above), navigate to "D:\GAMEXY". Go inside the folder.
  Then select the file(s) or folder(s) you want to copy (should be fol-
  ders and files depending on the game) and single files like
  "readme.txt, gamename.exe" etc.) with the right mouse button or INSERT
  key (or another one, depends on Commander). If you do so again, it
  should unselect them.
  Click on Fx button (usual: F5) Copy and it copies the files to the
  left side.
  After you have copied the files to C:\GAMES\GAMEXY you can read the
  "readme.txt" file by a click on it and pressing F3 (View) or F4 (Edit).
  To execute the program gamename.exe doubleclick on gamename.exe or
  press ENTER.

  Long story short: Depending on what you want to do, it either runs on
  the selected side or does the job from the selected side to the other.
  You can work from left to right or from right to left as you like it.
  Below the two windows there is also a line for entering a DOS command
  and the function keys.
  Depending on the used Commander there are also a lot of other features,
  e.g. sort filters (date, name, extension etc.), search tools etc. etc.
  Just try them out.
