Another means of opening files from the keyboard

For those of you that are knew to this, holding option while performing this hit will also open the path in a new window while closing the last one. I think this has become pretty obsolete with MacOS X, but was a HELL of a time saver in previous versions!

There is a lot of undocumented good hacks / tricks with using modifiers (Command, Alt, Shift) with the arrow keys (and just in general) with Apples SW - both OS'es (Mac OS <insert random number here>) as well as applications (EG QuickTime Player)
