2. Usage *tar-usage* *tar-manual*
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.
