Panther is a great improvement over Jaguar and I recommend you upgrade if
you haven't yet. Some of these features were not in Jaguar but I cannot
remember now which ones. I do remember the finder being more intuitive once
I loaded Panther.

Some favourite Panther (OSX.3.3) features:
When in column view, at the bottoms of the dividing bars between the
columns, you can adjust the width of each column individually.

press F11 - select a folder that had been covered up

press shift F11 - slo mo!

press F10 - tiles all open applications - select the one you want

F9 tiles all open windows

one of my faves is dragging a "hot" folder onto the top bar of a folder's
window for quick 'n easy access. It will turn up in all future windows.
