	Agreed.  This is one of the reasons that I use HFS Navigator by Think
Technologies (written Mike Kahl of LSC fame).  In addition to allowing me to
create new folders on the fly, I can also do Searches, Deletes, etc from within
the SFPutFile (and SFGetFile) dialogs.  The other nice features about HFS Nav
is that I can set up a menu of commonly accessed folders and then quickly move
to that folder by choosing it from teh menu.

	If you are using a Mac + or later keyboard (one with Arrow Keys) you 
can easily move up one level in the direcotry by doing a Cmd-Up Arrow.  True
there is no one-key option to the top, but this works real well since you 
have the cmd-Key down and you just hit the up arrow enough.
