After making myself crazy with this, I think AJAX can do what I need
quite well, particurly since the directory structure is four deep and
there are duplicate directory and file names. The first select will
show the first set of directories. onSelect will generate and display
the next set of directories from a call to the script, etc. The only
gotcha is that the script is going to have to know what is a file and
what is a directory.

It ought to be an interesting application. ;-)

Thanks!
