I haven't been using emacs for decades yet, so it was just in case.

But in such a case, it would try to expand the relative file name from default-directory, which is precisely the one printed by default in the prompt, isn't it ? In this case, why remove the default prompt ? Just yanking after should yield to the same result with fewer keystrokes. -- Paul
