Hi,
if I open a file C-x C-f
then C-0 C-k deletes the path but not "Find file".
but C-a jumps back to the Column 0 (before "Find file") and marks the
line without that I want that. So what is the beginning of the line?
In a larger context it is inconsistent that a buffer can be read-only
(cf. "Find File" prompt) and editable (cf. <path>) at the same time.
I am working with
GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-06-02 on RELEASE
on MS Win XP.
Best, Will

Right, I see this too.

It does? I don't see this on my system. Could you please try this in
"emacs -Q"? If the problem goes away, there's something in your
.emacs init file that causes this.

Well, the idea is that we allow to edit everything except the prompt.
Sounds pretty much consistent to me; other GUI programs behave
similarly. The fact that the minibuffer is just another Emacs buffer,
albeit a special one, and a buffer is normally either entirely
read-only or entirely editable, is not the issue here, IMO, since
typing at the prompt is a very special situation.
