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.  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.
