Marc,
I generally use Apple-A to select, but had never tried using it on a
folder to bring up the entire contents of that folder. Usually I just
click the folder to open and then Apple-A to select the entire contents
(this is mostly the 'Delete' folder. However, if I don't want to
delete all the contents and want to de-select I just click below the list
in that file. If you are in the folder list then I guess clicking on
another folder does the trick also.
