THere is a similar thread in this group that deals with this topic but inspite of reading it and tring it didnot herlp. hrer is what happened ####### say this is some buffer######## .... ...... ...... source /tools/linux/directory/foo.tcl .... ... ######## Buffer ends ############## Now i would like to open the file by positioning my cursor over "/tools/linux/directory/foo.tcl" at any point and open it either in the same buffer or preferably another buffer. What was suggested in the thread was to use M-X find-file-at-point RETURN but this is behaving exactly like C-X C-F and the mini buffer is asking for the file name. I donot know what is happening. please enlighten Thanks in adavance -Cloud
