There are innumerable ways that Pathagoras can be used to navigate your system. Most are either two click or Alt-G  operations. This is possible because Pathagoras maintains internal tables of pointers that you can take advantage of. Getting from point A to point Z (skipping B through Y) could not be easier.

oDrop down the DropDown List. Click the <Open Folder> element near the bottom of the list. The target folder of the DropDown List will be displayed.
