The directory selecting tool SD (v09i033) posted here recently has a very
irritating bug.  When subdirectories are presented, you may use arrow keys 
to select the one you want, _or_ you may type the first letter of the
subdirectory's name.  The latter operation _also_ immediately selects that
subdirectory, and you drop down one level, _without_ a confirming carriage
return.  

The bug is that this happens even when more than one subdirectory starts
with the letter in question.  For example, in the subdirectory where I keep
my file unpacking tools, I have subdirectories ZIP and ZOO.  Typing 'z'
gets me ZIP in downright zippy fashion, even when it's ZOO I wanted.  To
get ZOO, the only way is tap-tap-tap (over three) and then tap-tap-tap 
(down three).
