What were you trying to do?
Save a buffer under a different filename using C-X C-W
What's wrong:
It didn't show the prefix on the screeen, in the ez message area. AND
it appended the new name to the old name! Specifically, I had "dbx_ovr.olh"
in my buffer and I wanted to write the buffer to "dbx_and_gdb.olh". I wound
up with the file "dbx_ovr.olhdbx_and_gdb.olh".
What should have happened:
It should have written the filename that I actually requested, instead
of doing an append. It should have put the path in the input area, too, in
case I wanted to write to a different directory.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The docsourc dotfiles are all readable. I also use the "kevles"
command to finish doing customizations, which includes the following alias for
ez:
alias ez "ez -geometry 590x500-30+50"
