This is super.  Thanks much.

I get one error which I was able to fix, although my fix may not be
the best.  I think it may be due to something kinky on my system.

When I try to save a file, I see a message such as the following:

    Error writing file /home/dkuhlman/tmp.txt/home/dkuhlman/tmp.txt

Apparently, on my system, getbuf_info returns the full path and
file name for both path and name.  Is that the correct behavior? 
Or, do I need a patch for the Jed source?

As you can see from the patch below, my fix was to not concatenate
the file name to the argument to write_buffer().

But, getbuf_info() is used in several places in ffx.sl, so I'm
wondering whether there might be other problems that I haven't come
across yet.

I notice that Klaus's files have MS Windows line endings.  I'm on
Linux.  Could this be a platform difference?

I'm using jed-0.99-16.

Here is the patch (though not necessarily the correct fix):

               }
             w= "write_buffer";

Once again, thanks to Klaus for a very handy and useful extension
to Jed.
