Thanks for the tip. But as far as I've seen of the X-finder it seems more like a cross between (Windows) Explorer and Windows Commander. Both are quite functionable in their respective environment, but they don't work in conjunction with the desktop as do Finder of MOS6/7/8/9. And they do not present the space-saving hearchical menus. On a similar note, MOS 8/9-wise, I find the "old style" Open/Save dialogues in collaboration with 'Dialog View' and 'Instant Folders' (and FinderPop/PowerMenu) to be much more flexible _and_ non-bloated than new-style Navigational Services.
