  This is slightly off the beaten path, but my roomate just found this feature
in Finder 6.1.4 last night.  Most people I know open folders to get to one
specific folder a few levels down, and don't need the higher level folders
to stay open.  I myself explicitly close the parent folder immediately unless
I know I need it.  Anyway my roommie found out that if you command-option
double-click a folder, that folder's window will open, and the parent window
will close.  I wonder how long this feature's been around?  Let's see you
do this on a Unix machine... :)
