- This is somethng I've been curious about for some time. If I do a
- C-x C-f (find file) right after I start emacs, I get Find File: ~/
- in the minibuffer, and if I hit return, I get into dired with my
- home directory listed. If I then open a file in that directory,
- then do a C-x C-f again, I get the same Find File: ~/ in the
- minibuffer, but if I hit return, I don't go back into dired, I get
- nowhere. I have to edit the minibuffer and remove the / before it
- will let me open that directory in dired again.
-
- This is not a big problem, but I'm wondering why it's happening,
- and if there's any way I can set things up such that I won't have
- to delete that / in the minibuffer.
