Well, it actually have to either require full path names or translate
relative file names to full file names before sending the file names to
emacs, or?

I don't understand the question. It currently accepts absolute
pathnames, or pathnames relative to the current directory. Seems
sensible to me. And portable. Most operating systems have the concept
of a default current directory. I don't think most of them have the
concept of a default current directory for each
drive/device/filesystem/younameit (but I could be wrong).


If Emacs would only get a relative file name it would have no chance to find the file. As I wrote in another letter it also gets the cwd, but in those cases we are discussing here it gets the wrong cwd.

So this is actually a bug that we should fix. It should be rather easy to do that by just using the cwd for the given file name's drive so to say.
