Go Into
Go Into allows you to re-root the nav tree at any arbitrary node. Right-click the node and select the "Go Into" command. This will make that node the new root of the tree. All the nodes you have "gone into" are persistently saved as a special type of Bookmark. Use the pulldown to switch between them. This feature is quite handy when working with multiple Stations or deep File systems and Databases.
