In emacs 21 (what I'm use to), ^X-^F would put in the minibuffer the  
directory path with a final / on the end.  Simply hitting return  
would re-read the file.  If you wanted to read the directory, you  
would backspace and erase the / and then hit return.

In emacs 22, simply hitting return after the ^X-^F reads in the  
directory.  That confuses me a lot.  I'm simply not use to it.

Is it possible to revert it back to what emacs 21 did -- maybe a  
customized option or some variable I can set?

Thanks,
