I can't remember offhand how to do it in elisp, but if you just want to 
know every so often when actually editing, try typing C-x C-f (find file) 
and the prompt will start off containing the current directory. Something 
like C-a C-k C-g will drop you back where you started, with the current 
directory on the top of the kill ring.
