I have xemacs installed on my Windows2000, but I cannot list a directory
files. In order to open the file, I have to know exact the file
name in the directory and type
the file name. How do I trigger the problem? Please shed a light.
Thanks in advance.

I used to type c-x f <return>, then I can view list of file in
current directory. I could not view a list file in a directory
after I re-install xemacs. Did I miss something.

You have the commands confused. C-x C-f is for opening a file or for
creating one where there isn't one. It's not for viewing the directory.
C-x d, as stated by D. Goel, is for viewing a directory.
Unless it works differently on Windows than on Linux.

You missed something. Are your packages installed correctly? i.e. can you run
dired at all?

Unless you're running some kind of special Linux, <C-x> <C-f> should open
files *or* directory everywhere, on both emacsen.

Right. But `C-x C-f ?' will display a *Completions* buffer with the
directory's contents.
