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 "../"
