V.2.1.3. It connects and opens up files and directories (dired) fine. Then just now, while editing a file (named todo) with it, I got this error message in the minibuffer: Opening output file: no such file or directory, /usr/src/packages/BUILD/emacs-21.3/src/#todo# =46rom the little I know of emacs, I'm guessing that tramp/emacs is trying to save a temporary file and doesn't have write permission in the subdir it's configured to do this in. (It's kind of nuts to have this subdir as the default for this.) How do I change this? I would prefer to put #todo# in the same subdir as todo... and this would seem to make the most sense as the default for everyone. tnx, ken --=20 A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do.
