Lost File Finder DA for HFS 
By Mike Schuster, Software Engineer, MacTutor Contributing Editor
Apple designed the new Macintosh Plus Standard File dialog package to provide an
easy method for finding files nested within the hierarchical file structure of a mounted
volume. At any given time, the dialog displays a sorted list of the files and folders
contained within a "current folder". If the desired file is not in that folder, and
therefore not in the displayed list, you must first find the folder that contains the
desired file.
If you believe that the desired file is in one of the "sibling folders" listed, you
select that sibling and click on the Open button. The selected folder becomes the new
current folder, and its contents are displayed. You may have to repeat this process if
the file is nested several levels deep.
