Does it realy works interactivly.  When you two directories deeper it
works?

I think the directory is always interpreted relative to the start
directory.  So if you start one directory deeper then your homedir (for
example ~/Mail) ".." should mean your home dir.

Here the text for changing directories ends always with "../" so a dirty
soltion maybe the following ("^e" could be removed):
  macro browser ^ "<change-dir>^e../<enter>"

Problem is the appending of "../" for each press of "^".

By the way: Why should "^" be not doubled.  I thought "^" must be escaped
as "^^".  But then I have to type two "^".
