Is there positive reason to believe it causes any > trouble? Originally, I saw an error when dired-rename-subdir was called with non-directories. That caused me to think it caused trouble. But meanwhile, I believe that the trouble must be somewhere else -- even when avoiding dired-rename-subdir on non-directories, I get an error. (The same error, in fact: Ange-FTP issues "cd foo" where foo is a file and not a directory.) -- ~/.signature
