[slime-devel] Question about current directory and M-x cd behavior

[Jeffrey Cunningham]

Thanks, Zach. That's exactly what I needed to know.

I tried it in a fresh emacs & slime setup and see that M-x cd calls 
swank:set-default-directory, after which *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS* has 
been changed as expected. What's curious is that I periodically run into 
cases where  it doesn't seem to be working. Of course, at the moment my 
working emacs slime (recently started) is behaving as it should. Next 
time it acts up I'll take a look at the value of 
*default-pathname-defaults* to see if it is in fact being changed. I bet 
not.

Regards,
Jeff
