Most people I know open folders to get to one specific folder a few levels down, and don't need the higher level folders to stay open. I myself explicitly close the parent folder immediately unless I know I need it. Anyway my roommie found out that if you command-option double-click a folder, that folder's window will open, and the parent window will close. I wonder how long this feature's been around? Let's see you do this on a Unix machine... :) _______________________________________________________________________________ Dean Yu | E-mail: mystone@caen.engin.umich.edu Self-declared License Czar | Real-mail: Dean Yu University of Michigan | 909 Church St Computer Aided Engineering Network | Apt C INCLUDE 'Disclaimers.a' | Ann Arbor, MI 48104 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
