I don't have easy access to one of these in a Web page.  Our desktop
client uses these a lot.

My problem with using something like this is that the lower level list
is only displayed once a selection is made at a higher level.  This
makes the on-page Find functionality fail and makes people back up and
down the tree a lot.  I find I do this myself a good deal with the
finder which I've sometimes called the "Wander" when i get frustrated
with it.
