    Kangaroo is also great for repetitive operations where you load in
one file at a time.  Kangaroo remembers the last file you accessed in
that folder and positions the cursor over that file the next time you
open the file dialog.  All you have to do is hit the down arrow once to
grab the next file.  This is much better than hitting the down arrow
lots of times, or trying to remember which letter to type to get you
down to that file, etc.

    Even if you *do* keep everything in the root directory, or don't
have a hard drive, Kangaroo's OS utilities are very, very convenient. 
You can use Find File to locate a hard-to-find file (and automatically
open it), format a disk, change the name/type/access of a file, etc. 
All from within a standard file dialog.
