-  If you use ^X^F to find a directory, dired is run automatically.

-  If, within dired, you hit "f" to find another directory, dired is
   run again on that directory.

-  Something like [[[ (Dired) ]]] appears on the mode line to show
   the second level of nesting.

So, the question is: how do I exit the subdirectory to return to the
   first directory, AND make the recursively called copy of dired go away?

This is a problem, because I have been using "^X k" to kill the nested
dired buffer, and though this *does* take me back to the first
directory, it leaves the nesting depth indicator in the mode line
at a depth of two. Eventually, after an hour or so has passed and
and I have visited files and directories all over the place, I get
the message "Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth".

I'd appreciate any help!  (And please mail responses -- I'll post
them if there is sufficient interest.)
