You just type the few starting letters and press TAB: if it completes to a directory name, it will enter it (then use "..[TAB]" to go one level back if you need it), and if it completes to several file names, it will filter them in the right side of the dialog. Perhaps you're using some modified file selector dialog, instead of the original one (Ximian and others have modified it in their distributions). Cheers, Danilo
