You may look at ffx, uploaded to
http://home.wtal.de/klaus/jedks/
screenshots ffx*.gif

Differences to emacs find_file and Co.:
- built-in history, sync. with multiple sessions
- navigable history- and completions-list with
  arrow up/down (instead space-bar)
- line pointer (highlighted) in *Completions* buffer
- sorting by date
- switchable to submenu for other file-functions

Still somewhat experimental and under work to improve
usability and functional details (e.g. window buffer state).

Suggestions for improvements welcome.
