Hmmm, there are pros and cons and maybe this is no big deal. "Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor." There are at least a couple ways you can accomplish that: 1. Start Emacs like this: emacs --eval '(dired "zz/yy*")' 2. Put this in your .emacs: (add-hook 'find-file-not-found-hooks (lambda () ;; see find-file-noselect: (if (and find-file-wildcards (not (string-match "\\`/:" buffer-file-name)) (string-match "[[*?]" buffer-file-name)) (progn (dired buffer-file-name) t)))) But if you aren't even sure that you want this feature, why are you posting to ? -- Kevin Rodgers
