#### A.5.3.1 Navigation

Navigation is a bit different from navigation in the File Browser window. To expand a node and see its contents, click on its handle (clicking on the handle when it is expanded will collapse it again). When you have identified the table you want to open, highlight it by clicking on it, and then click the Open Table button at the bottom.

To move to a different directory, i.e. to change the root of the tree which is displayed, use one of the buttons above the tree display:

Selector box
  Allows you to move straight to any directory higher up than the current one.
Up
  Moves to the parent of the current directory.
Down
  Moves to the currently selected (highlighted) node.
Home
  Moves to the user's home directory.

Alternatively, you can type in a new directory in the Go to field at the bottom of the window.

(In fact the above navigation options are not restricted to changing the root to a new directory, they can move to any node in the tree, for instance a level in a Tar archive.)
