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
