I made a file with a backslash in its name and then tried to rename it
using wdired. The backslash appeared doubled in the dired buffer.
On renaming, it complains:
Rename `/tmp/^G' to `/tmp/\aa' failed:
(file-error Renaming no such file or directory /tmp/^G /tmp/\aa)
Looks like the \a is being interpreted as a control-G?
To repeat:
In a shell:
touch '\a'
Then in a dired buffer viewing that file's directory:
M-x wdired-change-to-wdired-mode RET
<edit the \\a to something else>
C-c C-c
Chris.
