>From my prior message:
>From the following ielm run it appears that the Elisp documentation is
still correct, even though the code and docstring have changed (on
April 23) since I checked all of this quite a while ago:
ELISP> default-directory
"~/"
ELISP> (read-directory-name "Directory: " "/etc/")
"~/"
ELISP>
To get the second line, I just presses RET with /etc/ in the
minibuffer.
Of course, here is the read-directory-name code:
(unless dir
(setq dir default-directory))
(unless default-dirname
(setq default-dirname
(if initial (concat dir initial) default-directory)))
(read-file-name prompt dir (or default-dirname
(if initial (expand-file-name initial dir)
dir))
mustmatch initial 'file-directory-p))
If both initial and default-dirname are nil, the second unless-form
default-dirname to default-directory. The or-form then passes
default-directory to read-file-name. From the docstring, it would
appear that this is not intentional.
Sincerely,
Luc.
