			== Filters ==
			New to Pretty Garage in version 1.2 is the capability of applying filters to lists. You can filter cars by name, ID or author. Filters require the use of commands and the command line can be activated by pressing ''Enter''. The ''select'' command allows for simple or combined filters. For example:

			''select Porsche,Ferrari''

			will highlight all cars in the list that have their names beginning with "Porsche" or "Ferrari", while:

			''select dtm''

			will select all cars containing the string "dtm". This is the same as a ''select dtm'' command, as wildcards on both sides are assumed. When filtering by author or ID, you need to specify this:

			''select id pmin,jagu,coun''
			''select author Duplode,Alan''

			The ''select'' command will start from scratch with each filter, but you can use the ''and'' and ''or'' filter operators for cumulative filtering:

			''or covertte''

			will add to the current selection those cars that contain the word "corvette" in their name, while:

			''and author Overdrijf''

			will deselect all cars whose author is not ''Overdrijf''. All filters are case-insensitive. The ''not'' command is also available and it inverts the current selection.

	The user can define one garage to be the ''junkyard''. If a junkyard is defined, attempting to delete one or more cars will immediately send them to that directory without confirmation, unless they are being deleted from the junkyard itself. This is similar to the behaviour of trash cans in desktop OSs. In Pretty Garage, the first ~~garaged~~ with a name that begins with "junk" (case insensitive) is set to be the junkyard, if it exists. Without a junkyard, the user will always be prompted for confirmation when deletion is attempted and if approved, it will be permanent.		The user can define one garage to be the ''junkyard''.

			== Garage handling ==
			Like Simple Garage, Pretty Garage supports the definition of one or more garage directories, besides Stunts' main path, which is also used in a similar way. Cars can be exchanged between these garages rather freely. Stunts' path only differs in that it cannot hold more than 32 cars and one car can be defined as default (normally, the Countach) and cannot be moved out of the directory. However, these rules can be overridden, as most actions in the program have the option of becoming forceful if the ''shift'' key is being held down.

			== Junkyard ==
			The user can define one garage to be the ''junkyard''. If a junkyard is defined, attempting to delete one or more cars will immediately send them to that directory without confirmation, unless they are being deleted from the junkyard itself. This is similar to the behaviour of trash cans in desktop OSs. In Pretty Garage, the first garaged with a name that begins with "junk" (case insensitive) is set to be the junkyard, if it exists. Without a junkyard, the user will always be prompted for confirmation when deletion is attempted and if approved, it will be permanent.
