Yes, if I remember correctly, in the versions of the Finder and System
after version System 3.2, you can use Command-UpArrow to move to the
parent folder of the current folder.  And of course you can just press
return on the highlighted folder in the dialog box to open up a child
folder.

It acutally works rather well on a Mac Plus since the Up arrow key is
directly below the Return key, so you can move among folders rather
quickly.  On an ADB extended keyboard however, it may be a little
hastle to move you hand over to the "inverted T" section of the
keyboard.

Hope this helps!
