Subject: Reading a directory with (interactive "Dxxx")

Hello,

I have function:

(defun store (directory)
  (interactive "DPath to store in:")
  (.....))

Which queries the user for an existing directory, and then stores a
file in there. The minibuffer dialog employs the working directory of
the current buffer as default, however I would like to provide my own
default, in general different from the working directory. Is this
possible?


Best Regards

Joakim
