i. Is there a function or, better yet, a keychord that backspaces (by erasing) subdirectory components in the minibuffer. So, if the current directory is deeply embedded in the file hierarchy, can I hit a key combo to move backwards (upwards toward the root) in the directory tree:
Ed, In any buffer (with a file), pressing C-x C-j will open a *dired* buffer containing that file, and move the point to that file's entry. In a *dired* buffer, it opens the parent directory. I'm not sure how to replace the current *dired* buffer with its parent. HTH, Colin S. Miller -- Replace the obvious in my email address with the first three letters of the hostname to reply.
