Advanced Mark Commands
**********************

`F'
     (`dired-do-find-marked-files') Find all marked files at once
     displaying them simultaneously.  If optional NOSELECT is non-`nil'
     then just find the files but do not select.  If you want to keep
     the Dired buffer displayed, type `C-x 2' first.  If you want just
     the marked files displayed and nothing else, type `C-x 1' first.

     The current window is split across all files marked, as evenly as
     possible.  Remaining lines go to the bottom-most window.  The
     number of files that can be displayed this way is restricted by
     the height of the current window and the variable
     `window-min-height'.

`dired-mark-extension'
     Mark all files with a certain extension for use in later commands.
     A `.' is not automatically prepended to the string entered, you
     must type it explicitly.

     When called from Lisp, EXTENSION may also be a list of extensions
     and an optional argument MARKER-CHAR specifies the marker used.

`dired-flag-extension'
     Flag all files with a certain extension for deletion.  A `.' is
     _not_ automatically prepended to the string entered.
