Re: MS Windows quirks

I can't file a bug report since I'm not an MS Windows user. But, I was helping a colleague setup XEmacs on MS Windows and some things are peculiar, but I suspect they could be fixed easily. For example, opening a link file gets you a binary mess. Luckily, the actual filename is in that mess and you can usually copy and paste it to open the actual file. Can't that be automated? Also, when you copy that to the minibuffer, you have to edit whatever was their already. I guess that's because the absolute path of the filename starts with <drive-letter>: instead of /, ~ or \ (MS Windows-only, I assume). Could this also be automated just on MS Windows? I mean something like... C-x C-f minibuffer before: c:\dir\with\link\<cursor> minibuffer during: c:\dir\with\link\<paste>c:\actual\filename</paste> minibuffer after : c:\actual\filename<cursor> So, in other words, the magic symbols would also need to include a regex something like [a-zA-Z]: Thanks, Rodney
