Subject: Changing working Directory useing abbrev ??
Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 13:00:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1177866044.3152.139.camel@CASE> (raw)
Hi;
I have the following path abbrevs in my ~/.emacs:
'(directory-abbrev-alist (quote (("ppprac" .
"/home/bill/Docs/Stuff/PHPprac/") ("ocrepo" . "/home/bill/OclugRepo")
("workem" . "/home/bill/Docs/Work/emacs/"))))
These abbrevs work with my find-file command. i.e C-x C-f RET workem
RET opens a new dired buffer "/home/bill/Docs/Work/emacs/" -- which is
what I want.
On the other hand, when I try 'M-x cd RET workem RET ' ( and various
imaginative variations) I get '[no match]'.
How can I use my path abbrevs to change to a new pwd??
Oh, by the way, I have googled and info-ed indeed. I am still not used
to using all the correct search criteria, so the explanation is there
somewhere I am sure, but I can't find it.

Regards Bill
