Tucker) Organization: Philips Laboratories, Briarcliff Manor, NY Lines: 12 The notion of "current directory" *is* PER BUFFER. The easiest way to find out what a buffer thinks is current is to do "find-file", and look at EMACS's prompt. If you don't like EMACS's idea, don't forget: You can just start typing a full path name without deleting what is already in the prompt buffer, and You can edit what's there (to get a near neighbor), or Start 'relativizing' the name with "../" -- Mark Tucker
