You are correct.  I do get something like that.  So, getbuf_info()
seems good.

Oh.  Maybe their *order* is wrong.

OK.  So, then I'm going to suggest to Klaus that reverse the order
of concatenating directory and file name (use "d+b" instead of
"b+d").  Here is the change:

    --- ffx_old.sl  2003-08-07 08:33:50.000000000 -0700
    +++ ffx.sl  2003-08-07 13:42:46.000000000 -0700
    @@ -391,7 +391,7 @@
             (b,d,,)= getbuf_info( whatbuf());
             if ( b != "")
               {
    -             ()= write_buffer( b+d);
    +             ()= write_buffer(d + b);
                  return;
               }
             w= "write_buffer";

That works.  But, I don't know why this was not a problem for
Klaus.

And, thanks again to Klaus for cool stuff.  It really does make
switching between buffers and finding an loading files more
convenient.
