Try this, Paul, When you want to exit the archive, hit the  arrow
key. You need to hit  to get into the archive (not a selfex), but
once inside,  will take you back to the parent of the archive (so
long as you don't have any stray char's in the bottom command line)
which one normally does not. So long as that command line is clean, the
 and  keys will take you to the parent or child of the
current dir. At least mine is config'd to do this, and it is a handy
alternative for moving up/down the tree. Particularly up the tree, where
you can be 5 or 6 levels down and just 'lean on' the  key and you
are back at the root. {^;
Good Modeming!  /\oo/\
