Subject: How to modify 'write-file'
Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2010 10:17:32 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c108c26d-a265-4013-ba60-19be7d0ed863@i25g2000yqm.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi,  I write and modify many files with long names in which I need to
save the changed file to a similar name as the original but with a few
letters or numbers changed. A useful modification to write-file would
be to have the current file name to be placed in the minibuffer along
with the path when write-file is called. Then modifying the name would
be simple.  How would I do this?  Ideas?

Richard.
