This means updating their modification times to the present time. This is like the shell command touch." Rather, to fit in with the other lines I'd reccomend "Touch the specified files (dired-do-touch). This means updating their modification times to /timestamp/. This is like the shell command touch." Would just send a patch, but can't be bothered working out how to contribute, apologies! Joshua
