I donot know what is happening. please enlighten > Thanks in adavance > -Cloud So your complaint is that `M-x find-file-at-point' requires you to type RET to confirm that /tools/linux/directory/foo.tcl is the file you want to visit? (BTW, if you run `M-x ffap-bindings', then `C-x C-f' will run find-file-at-point for you instead of find-file and `C-x 4 f' will run ffap-other-window instead of find-file-other-window.) -- Kevin
