- Thanks to all that responded to my request!
-
- Some sent me e-lisp code from comp.emacs; another person recommended
- the variable "mode-line-format" to add the "%f" construct for the
- filename. Another kind soul refered me to a module on
- archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:
-
- /pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/as-is/prettymodeln.el.Z
-
- to create "prettier mode lines with long filenames."
-
- Many thanks to all!
