Invoking A Compare Between Directories in XEmacs 21.4.20

Please describe as succinctly as possible:
	- What happened.
	- What you thought should have happened.
	- Precisely what you were doing at the time.


On Unix, when comparing Directories via the menu sequence
Tools-Compare-Two Directories, for directory A, you get 
a Dialog Box titles "Directory A To Compare:". You can select the first
directory and then have to press return to dismiss the dialog box (not
intuitive). The set up in version 20.4 was better where you get the file
dialog box 
with it's OK cancel button.

When you dismiss the "Directory A To Compare:" dialog box, having made
your selection, the second directory has to 
be entered in the mini buffer at the bottom of the screen, rather than
showing the previous dialog box. Overall, the 
sequence in version 20.4 is better since you get the file dialog box for
directory B as well, as you would expect.

On Windows, when you repeat the abhove menu sequence, you get the
standard windows file selection dialog which simply
won't accept a directory as the final selection before dismissing the
dialog box. I have to invoke compare directories
from the mini buffer to get directory comparison to work.

Regards,

Kevin
