This isn't the behavior I get in Win2k. I created a dir with files named 
a, b, c, ca, cc, and cool. Hitting "cc" quickly selects the file named 
"ca" (the second c file in the list), not "cc". Additional c presses 
cycle through all the files starting with c. Maybe this is different in 
other Windows versions. Personally, I prefer the Win2k behavior. It 
seems more intuitive that multiple presses of the same key just cycles 
through all the files starting with that letter.
