Hmm, your suggestion arrived after I posted my comment with respect to
Daniel Brodie's suggestion; based on the times of the posts.. ? Also, I
didn't know about this way of doing it till you suggested it :-). 

Anyhow, thanks for the tip, it works ok. But, I still have the opinion
that some sort of 'shift+close' (it doesn't have to be 'shift', just an
example) combination to open the parent directory would be a good
addition. That would allow a 'one click' navigation to move back up the
directory structure (closing the subdirectory each time). For *me* that
would be quicker and more intuitive, comments welcome.

Cheers,

Chris.
