Dired initially asks you for a directory path.
If you give it a file path you will see a listing with just that one
file.
How make Dired *AUTOMATICALLY* load that file if you initially gave it
a file path instead of a directory path?
e.g. /etc/fstab instead of /etc

Use `find-file' (`C-x C-f'), not `dired' (`C-x d').
C-x C-f /etc opens Dired on /etc
C-x C-f /etc/fstab visits file fstab
