The next time, it could move to the beginning of the line. If people think it is a good idea, I will write it if no one else does. Alternatively, C-M-b and C-M-f could move by filename component. That is cleaner and does more, but those chars are harder to type and users won't come across it in their editing. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
