| hi there
| 
| in dired buffers (particulaly when created by dired-find) i quite often want 
| to open the directory where listed files reside in. eg. in a dired buffer 
| the cursor is on a line like
| 
|   -rw-rw-rw-   1     6264 Aug 11 12:34 source/XPImageList/AlphaImage.pas
| 
| then i want to open the directory "XPImageList" in a seperate dired buffer. 
| is there any dired command accomplishing this, or does anybody knows about a 
| appropriate add-on?

C-x 4 C-j (from dired-x)
