You have those two commands switched around. Command down to open q folder, command up to close it. Open down, close up.

I've been opening them with command-uparrow and closing them with command-down

cursor arrives back in my home directory but if I cycle through windows 
everything's still open.

Hello Lorie,

In list view, you should never use the right arrow to open a folder as it 
simply inserts the contents of that folder into the list of items of the parent 
folder. Always open a folder with either Command-o or Command-Down Arrow. You 
can close the folder and go up to the parent folder using Command-Up Arrow.
If you have lots of folders open inside a parent folder, keep pressing the left 
arrow until they all close.
Cheers,

Anne

that's what I've been doing after I realized they were all still open. do I 
need to do that every time? when I use command-w it closes that particular 
window but the rest of the path to that folder is still open.

I have my folders set to show as lists. lately even though I close the
folders as I am leaving them, I find later when cycling through windows that
they're all still open. I'm thinking that closing the folders back up to the
home directory level is actually closing them but apparently it isn't. what
do I need to change?

thanks.
