After typing SPOON at the DOS prompt, SPOON will load the list of files in the path and present them to you. You can use the Up/Down cursor keys to select the file you want. You will notice the right window stating either "NO SAUCE" indicating the selected file has no SAUCE, or it will contain the full SAUCE details. Pressing [Enter] will select the file, and will put SPOON in SAUCE edit mode, where you can modify what you want. SPOON will do it's best in autodetecting as much as possible. If a file already has SAUCE, no autodetection occurs. Pressing [Enter] on a directory will make that directory active. Pressing [Del] on a SAUCEd file will delete the SAUCE information.
