Nope,... just hold down the mouse and get a nested menu. Release when the doc or app is highlighted. Pop-up folder it is called. I hope Copeland has it standard. >With filename completion, I can reach an arbitrary file nested 5 >directories deep faster than you can reach an arbitrary file nested 5 >folders deep with the mouse. Nope. I don't think so. Not when the nested folders appear as nested menus. I promise you that I can reach a nested 5 directory deep app/doc than a command line. Especially when the nested directory names aren't exactly remembered. -- ____________________________________ / \ Most problems could be solved | Mark A.
