I really liked the new slime translation stuff that went in a few days ago... except that tramp is a little bit different on xemacs. Part of it though, tramp has lots of functions for manipulating filenames. If we are going to depend on tramp for this feature, the automatic creation of translation functions, then lets use the tramp stuff that already has this configuration and functions built in. Here is a lisp paste showing what can be done with the new configuration. http://paste.lisp.org/display/17592 If you like, I can go link this from Cliki as well.
