    This is one of my favorite topics! I love using key equivalents in
standard file. Here are some of the nice things:
   * typing first few characters of file you want will scroll to it
   * return or enter will open file or folder level
   * tab is equivalent to DRIVE button
   * command-uparrow will move you up one folder level
   * arrow keys will move you thru the file list
   * command-. will cancel  (ADDED WITH SYSTEM 4.1!!!!)

As far as I can tell, every feature of standard file can be done via the 
keyboard. With the SFPutFile dialogs you can do all the above EXCEPT typing
the first few letters of a file will put those letters into the name 
you will save your file as so I use the arrow keys to find the folder I
am looking for.  David Gelphman  daveg%slacvm.bitnet@forsythe.stanford.edu
