Hi,
I think it is a frequently requested feature to open files or sub dir
in dired using the same buffer.
perhaps it can be made as a preference in custome-group?
in gnu.emacs.help, Leo suggests that people file a report here or
else it'll not happen. So here it is. (i think Leo is a emacs
developer. If not, sorry.)
