[ale] ot help! - warning radical changes to android astro file manager

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the link.  That looks pretty cool.  I'll keep it in mind in case I need another file manager tool.  I managed to downgrade back to the old version of Astro, so that will be my primary program, but I'm always open to new ones with new features.

Sincerely,

Ron
