In OSX in List View, how do you close all folders? In OS9 there was OPT+Click on the little triangle. Is this function gone for good?

Thanks for the reply Rob, but doesn't do it. What I am looking for is a way to close the top level folder and all contained sub-folders. One mouse click, modified by holding down the option key did it in OS9 but there does not seem to be any simple way to do this in OSX. I am still looking. This seems to me to be a really basic function and how Apple could have overlooked it is beyond me.

Try this, it work for me. Hold down the Option key and click on the Red Close Window Button

Thanks Seymour. This closes windows but it has no effect on open folders. What I am trying to do is, in List View, after opening a series of folders within folders by clicking on the little triangle to the left of the folder icons, is close the first (top level folder) and all the sub-folders without having to go back and close each one individually. It was so simple in OS9.
