The idea, as I understand it, is that you do not need to erase previous entry if you change your mind in the middle of a long path entry. e.g. in native XEmacs: C-x d \ a \ b \ c \ d \ e \ \ electrically deletes to C-x d \ This is annoying when done by accident, until you're tipped off (like I was after a long time of use) that f1 (advertised-undo) will actually undo the electric delete. Some for use of ~. Hrvoje's gripe still stands that one cannot access files beginning with ~. I guess \ in native Windows and / elsewhere is not a big problem in practice since such files are pretty rare, like files containing BS or DEL in their names. Somebody who cares enough about these particular issues will have to take them up. I got enough on my plate. -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
