Comment (by yurik):

 Thanks SuperMMX, they did work, and I thought i knew all the shortcuts in
 the windows universe. :)

 Which underscores my point: Shortcuts should be traditional for the
 platform, not to the specific UI toolkit. All tree controls in windows use
 left/right keys to open close branches, and users should be presented with
 the consistent behavior -- in other words, users should not know HOW the
 program is built, what toolkit was used, or any other irrelevant info.
 Unless there is a good reason not to use what everyone is accustomed to,
 UI should be consistent.

 Thansk!
