Well, ffap should (optionally ask, and) take you to a >> dired of that directory... better than the current nothing. K> Nah. C-x d. Don't be silly. The whole point is what to do when the file doesn't exist. If I knew that in the first place, I would have hit C-x d. And, smartypants, just try hitting C-x d with the cursor placed on a path where the file doesn't exist, but the directory does. What does your C-x d prompt with there? Nothing, nada, nilch*, just the current directory. *coined new word. 10 points.
