In GNU Emacs 19.22.1 of Thu Dec 2 1993 on archimedes (irix) When I press 'i' in dired to insert the contents of a subdirectory, a message like the following is printed: /Users0/users/cims/boykov/bin/: not in this directory tree Here's the line for bin in the dired buffer: drwxr-xr-x 4 boykov cims 9728 Aug 12 11:32 bin Strangely, this problem does not occur with Emacs 19.22 on SUN. I did some investigating, and here's what I found out. In dired the default-directory is "~/". The name for the 'bin' subdirectory is "/Users0/users/cims/boykov/bin/", and it does not begin with "~/". On the SUN the default-directory is a full name "/robust.a/undergrads/vb1890/", and it is a substring of the subdirectory name "/robust.a/undergrads/vb1890/bin/". I have no idea why the default directory on SGI is abbreviated while on SUN it is expanded. Sincerely, Victor Boyko
