Good point, I wasn't thinking about the need to edit the path.  I still like 
the idea, and will think about ways to edit--first dumb thought maybe switch 
to an edit mode?  And maybe a right click to switch to the edit mode?

I guess I can imagine myself clicking an existing path (directory) to go 
somewhere far more often than I'd want to edit to change the path--especially 
if I had the chance to have several such paths visible at once, and I could 
click in any directory in any one of those paths to jump to that directory.
