MicroSoft Windows has a nice feature for us keyboard jockeys: type the first letter of the file you want to select, and the first file (in alphabetabular order) with that letter gets selected. Sorta like the standard file dialog deal, only it advances to the next file name if you keep hitting the same letter (slowly). This would be nice out at the finder for those of us who don't always find the mouse the handiest way to get things. And I second the motion for a command line, although I shudder to think of what could go in there... ----- I have no fancy disclaimer. I speak, and others ignore me.
