That's what I've always thought ought to happen.  When I get around to
upgrading my Emacs, I will give three cheers.

Different strokes for different folks.  My Emacs never communicates
with anybody but me.  Time after time, when I was in a file and wanted
to look at the directory, I have forgotten to delete the slash at the
end of the prompt, with the result that nothing happened.  I always
wondered what the idea was.
