ok. I've simply overseen this piece. To me it seems a little hard to
understand, too, for someone unfamiliar with gcmd. For example, send
what to where ? And file operations via context menu are standard
anyway, i would not mention this explicitly.  How about something like 
"The right-mouse context menu can easily be extended by entries calling 
external applications (like special viewers or custom shell
scripts) to process selected files or directories."

bug free is not quite right, at least for 1.01

This crashes with some mount actions (i didn't track by now)
and also did hang sometimes when i copied large amounts of files at
once. Maybe a FAM issue, i don't know.
Also some minor but annoying issues, like you can't  create a new dir 
in a window frame by right-mouse menu where's no 'empty'  space left to
right click ?  Or the fact that i still don't understand the F5 copying
-- it's  not working like the mc analogon somehow (but should, IMHO) 
... and no safety prompt when moving or copying whole directories - this
is an important feature with drag and drop i believe ... and delete
actions don't get updated by FAM here ... and i can't save the dir
positions for next startup (which would be the easiest way to assign
start directories). I could probably add more. But all of this should be
easy to fix.
