Okay, I know this isn't /exactly/ what you're looking for, but:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/effm2.zip
Euphoria Free File Manager. I've never used it or looked at the code, but the
description says it fulfills some of your requirements.

Unfortunately it uses Windows directly and not one of the various libraries.

The "Reply" button 
isn't working on 
http://www.openeuphoria.org/EUforum/
now, so i copy/
pasted the webpage from 
Jason.

Thankyou Jason. 
I downloaded the 
zip and tried
running EFFM.exw
and got this:

C:\euphoria\filemanager\EFFM.exw:292 in function myalloc()
A machine-level exception occurred during execution of this statement

... called from C:\euphoria\filemanager\treeviews.ew:195 in function
GetParentItem()

(again, sorry 
for the word-
wraps in that 
text, the text box
on the "send a 
message" webpage
has no wordwrap,
so i am guessing
on acceptable line 
lengths).
