This is how emacsW32 works for me. If my current buffer is a file
located in C:/scripts/foo.pl, then when I C-x C-f the default
directory will be C:/scripts/.
If *Scratch* is my active buffer and I C-x C-f, then .../Emacs32/emacs/bin/
Is this _not_ how it's supposed to work?
Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
