Okay... Patch is attached. It checks for ".." at the end of the path
given at prompt and checks if character just before "/.." is a ".",
"/" or "~" because unlike letters they have special meaning. eg.
normally in nano, path = "//.." leads to / and path = "~/.." leads to
"/home" and in both cases highlight is disturbed if we don't check for
them.
