Ipkiss gave the URL to the script I was looking. Thanks.
BTW, this tip is a third one relate to the same issue.

Sounds good.

I like the idea, but I'm not sure about the "how". Often it's better to give a

The more I categorize, the more I see tips waiting to be categorized that are
related to file navigation/browsing. I haven't though of a good category name
