This seems to me to be a general deficiency of the Save As... system supplied
dialog box, i.e. the inability to create folders from within the 
dialog box.

Another problem with these standard dlogs is in the Open dialog
boxes, where there is no keyboard equivelent for going up to the
enclosing directory: at the moment, since I have 2 drives I hit
the tab key twice to get to the top of the directory, but this seems
inelegent.

Is there a patch for the code, or an init that could address these
situations? How about in the next system software release...

Thanks,
