One additional point -- I have tried to use `directory-abbrev-alist' but it
gets applied and the result expanded multiple times so that you end up with a
mess.
For example:
(setq directory-abbrev-alist
'(("~/My Documents/Projects/xyz" . "$D0")
("/sshx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/myuser" . "$D1")
("/sshx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/myuser" . "$D2")))
I end up with filenames like:
$D2/proj/xyz/src/$D2/proj/xyz/src/$D2/proj/xyz/src/$D2/proj/xyz/src/x.sql
Thanks again.
