 I would like some help with the mode line. The problem I have is that when
 my file name is very long, i.e. the path is long, I loose some info. I have
 changed the default so that the file name is written last, but this only saves
 my other mode info. Here is the question: Is there some way to set the file
 name to be the un-expanded name, i.e. to exclude the entire path? Or else I
 could just write something else in the %f field?
 Any ideas?
				Thanks,
