Every time I save a file, invariably I want to save it to a folder other
than the current folder.  Not having a plus keyboard (actually, not having
any computer for the moment), I had no arrow keys to use.  So, I decided
that 'they way to do it' would be to use option-letter or command-letter
to go through the files.  'cept that I didn't get off my duff and write
a replacement save dialog before my computer went away (I've a loaner now,
but one doesn't do development work on a machine w/only 400K of disk).

Does anyone out there have such a save dialog?
