Yesterday I used the command write-file (^X^W) on a buffer to make a copy in another directory. I entered only the directory name, which caused the write to fail. After that the buffer name appeared to be empty. It was impossible to select the buffer from the buffer menu or to swith to the buffer interactively; the only thing I could do was eval (switch-to-buffer "") I think this behaviour in undesirable and thus a bug. I would even recommend that in case you use a directory name, the original file name is appended to it. -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O.
