Lisa,
Check out the manual, starting at Section 13.13.
If this seems needlessly complicated to you, it does to me also.
One layer in, they're called folders; but two or more layers in, and they
suddenly become directories, only accessible by switching to "directory
mode" by pressing space with t.
Also, somewhere in this section of the manual, an instruction says to press
the "left arrow". I assume this was missed during the editing process, and
means to hit backspace.
I think PulseData should decide whether to call these things folders or
directories exclusively, and keep it simple, as it is on a Windows-based PC.
The last thing we need is an implied dycotomy between simple users and
folders, and the world of more complex directory structures for the "power
users".
Just my $0.02
