Well, Scott, b my guest.  It really wasn't any big deal.  It worked about like 
any other situation in which I would move the vo cursor and the keyboard would 
track.  Probably a little more flaky than most situations, but nine times out 
of ten it would work.  I should also say that I'm speaking of the dialogs that 
come up when you need to brows for a file to open, but it was probably the same 
in Finder proper as the sidebar was the same control in both cases.
