There's not. Dfsee is a very limited file manager.

Some versions of xcopy do have issues. I usually recommend using 4OS2's
copy which does not suffer these defects.

The menus on the current versions are pretty clear. Command line work
does take a bit more care.

There are lots a safe ways to practice with dfsee. Once can set the
drives all read-only. Dfsee support virtual drives with can be handy for
testing ideas and post-mortem analysis of data captures by dfstart.
