That should be ...
(defun dired-follow-file ()
"In dired, visit the file or directory on this line.
If a directory is on the current line, replace the current Dired buffer
with one containing the contents of the directory. Otherwise, invoke
`dired-find-file' on the file."
(interactive)
(let ((filename (dired-get-filename)))
(if (file-directory-p filename)
(find-alternate-file filename)
(dired-find-file))))
(defun dired-setup-follow-file ()
(substitute-key-definition
'dired-find-file 'dired-follow-file dired-mode-map)
(substitute-key-definition

I'm sure there's a simpler way to do it, but I can't think of it right
now.

If you press return on a directory name in dired then it will open a
new dired buffer. If you press "a" on a directory name it will replace
the current buffer with that buffer.
I use a combination of these commands to navigate directories. I also
use "o" - open file/dir in other window and "i" which means insert
subdirectory into this dired window.

Don't know, sorry. But once you've mastered the keys above you should
be OK with Dired.
