Well, there is a bit in the Finder's LAYO resource which, if set, will make
double-clicks in the title-bar of a Finder window bring the parent directory's
window come up (even if it's closed)

It starts switching between the real and alternate info in the box after
(I'm told) about an hour of complete inactivity.  This can be expedited.

MacTutor says:
Use FEdit or similar program to searh for hex $034BC0 in multifinder
and change the two occurances to $0000C0.  (It's in CODE 1)

It won't take as long to show you the other info with this patch.
