Why is it a problem to have all kinds of special characters before the colon? With Emacs 21.2, giving the filename /[x]y@z:/foo results in Emacs trying to log in (via FTP) on the host "z" as the user "[x]y". Does it really matter that it is not possible anymore to specify this kind of user name? (I guess it would still work to specify this user name if you also specify the method in the filename.) Ange-FTP already uses `#', so if we must do this my suggestion is /method#user@host:/path/to/file This does not increase the number of special characters. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards.
