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