I've been wondering why dired won't visit files such as ~/projects, which is a directory. I find that filetype_CanonicalizeFilename does not put a '/' on the end of a directory filename, but buffer_GetBufferOnFile insists on having such a '/', to visit it, even though buffer KNOWS that the file exists and that it is a directory! Hey, if the canonical form is without a '/', then buffer should visit it. Or if it's with a slash, then filetype should add that slash. Bill
