If you click the oval in the upper right corner of the window, it should
switch to opening it in the same window.

This is one of the two things I think they really screwed up on OS X. They
should have just Carbonised the existing Finder and LEFT IT ALONE, and then
started over with the OpenStep file browser as the, and let you pick which
one gets used when a program opens a file dialog.

The other thing is that I think they should have gone to a two button
mouse, and put all the control-command-shift-option-corner-click crap in
a contextual menu, ALONG WITH any relevant Services entries, with the
shorthands presented as accelerators the way key combos are in the main
menus... because I *still* can't remember all the stupid bloody shorthands
and options are, and I'm damned if I should need to. I know where to find
Emacs, thank you very much, and I'm standing well clear.

HEY, APPLE, RECOGNITION IS EASIER THAN RECALL, REMEMBER?

Bastards.
