I would like some help with the mode line. The problem I have is that when my file name is very long, i.e. the path is long, I loose some info. I have changed the default so that the file name is written last, but this only saves my other mode info. Here is the question: Is there some way to set the file name to be the un-expanded name, i.e. to exclude the entire path? Or else I could just write something else in the %f field? Any ideas? Thanks, Brian Siritzky {...cmcl2!csd2!siritzky}

As soon as UniPress releases my Emacs, you can use ``%t'' to get just the trailing component of the file name. If you have source, just add a case 't': entry near case 'f': that puts up only the tail part of the file name. -- (This line accidently left nonblank.)

Our emacs then only uses the last component of the file name. Dave
