I am not sure what you mean by the scrolling and such. I think others have  
mentioned workarounds for getting relative paths. I usually disable the  
special NEdit Open Dialog and use the standard Motif one, which I can then  
customize suitably for my purposes using Xresources, though at the moment,  
with OpenMotif 2.X, I find there to be no need to adjust these settings.

Then again, I like Motif's dialog, so... *shrug*
