Sorry. Forgot to mention that. I was too intent upon saying that if your
A:/ drive has nothing in it at the moment, you should skip past it quickly
in order not to have to deal with the cancel/retry message, and forgot to
say that if the C:/ drive is open fine, but if it's not, then right arrow.
But Richard, remember that this is the common thing to do for opening a
folder that has subfolders, including in an email program such as Outlook
Express.
Thanks for mentioning this, below. Also, you close a folder by left
arrowing, of course.

If you get to a drive or folder that is closed you press right arrow to open
the next level in the tree.
