Hi Robert:
I have found that answering No is pretty useless and just hit C-g
and start all over again. I'm wondering if a No answer should have
the same effect as C-g.
I think it should.
Does anyone know what was intended by allowing No to create a buffer
without a directory? If you try to save the buffer, it just complains
that the directory does not exist anyways.
It’s just that the original design was bad, as far as I can tell. If the
directory doesn’t exist, you’ve probably just mistyped it; my impression is
that I’ve never got the warning in the context it seems to have been written
for, I have never wanted to create the directory. But then people’s usage
patterns vary, I also never use the meta key, something most emacs people
find odd.
