If you have a keyboard with arrow keys, the pretzel up-arrow takes you up to
the endlosing folder.

A real nice utility called HFS Navigator lets you creat folders from the
SFDialog. It also lets you find folders and files as well as keep a list of
often used folders for immediate access.  You can also get info, rename, and
delete files with the Navigator.  About $40 from Think Technologies.
