+
+ When one edits a *.tar file, this plugin will handle displaying a
+ contents page. Select a file to edit by moving the cursor atop
+ the desired file, then hit the <return> key. After editing, one may
+ also write to the file. Currently, one may not make a new file in
+ tar archives via the plugin.
