Actually, you only need to hit the option key in Finder 6.1.4.  As a
matter of fact, this kind of annoys me.  In past Finders,
option-clicking a folder open would cause the Finder to `forget'
that the window had been open the next time it ran; so, f'rinstance,
after I quit playing Crystal Quest, I'm greeted with my regular
desktop, and don't have to clean things up before I run Word.  It
was handy.  I liked it.  Now it doesn't work.  Why?  Has this
feature been assigned to another obscure keystroke-click
combination?

(I wouldn't be so upset if this happened in a major update like to
7.0, where I would expect changes to the interface, but 6.0.3 to
6.0.4 is supposed to be a minor upgrade....)
