Dialog pops up, but dot files are not displayed. I hit <.> and
the dot files are *added* to the display. I switch directories with
the mouse to ".netscape" and "bookmarks.html" is displayed. The
dot files are hidden again.

If I want a pure keyboard interface with auto-complete, I type

  <.>
  <n>
  <e>
  <control><space>		-- ".netscape"
  </>				-- cd .netscape and update file list
  <b>
  <control><space>		-- "bookmarks.html"
  <return>
