As for dired-recursive-copies, one could argue even in favor of using 'always as the default value since this operation is not as dangerous as deletion. If this is not desirable, I think even `top' is much better than nil. Please don't forget that the documentation of these options still mention old defaults. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
