Can one of you tell me why it is not possible to browse .zfs directories

Manually switching to .zfs and it's subdirectories does show the
snapshotted files, but I would like to be able to browse them (its so
much easier).
I know that the snapshots aren't mounted by default.  (And are
mounted/unmounted on the fly if needed.)  That's probably part of it, at
least.

Have you tried setting the 'snapdir' property to 'visible'?  I don't know
that would help, but it'd be worth trying.
I *can* go to the snapshots and see the files. I even can copy one or more of them to the live system. However, the moment I try to do this from within Midnight Commander I'm kicked out of the snapshot directory right into the root of the live filesystem. That way not able to manipulated snapshot files.
