This doesn't work in 2.0 Amiga either. You must have two or more
components in your path for this to work. For example: When you start
imagine from the "Imagine:" assign, all requester paths will start
blank and show files in that directory.  Erasing all text from a path
requester will take you to the dir that Imagine was run from. If you
then go into "textures" directory, then the word "textures" will appear
in the requester. You must go one more directory "lower" in your path
in order for the parent button to work (ie: textures/organic) -- The
parent button will take you "up" to the textures directory, but no
higher... Rather annoying, but just clear out the string gadget with
ctrl-x and hit return to go to the directory imagine was run from.
