But the problem is the moment i move to a subdirectory dired creates a new buffer for it. So ultimetly it turns out i have just too many buffers open if i am locating a file buried deep my home directory sturcture. Is there some configuration variable which shall tell it not to create all these buffers but to work only from one buffer. In short all i want is JUST ONE buffer for all my navigation. Regards, K.
