Hi,

Thanks for your detailed investigations. I will study them in more
detail a bit later (I will leave for about one week tomorrow) and
will let you know.

Notice that the C-x C-s interface is very rudimentary compared
to F3 (no tab-completion mechanism to browse directories,
no automatic file extensions, etc.).

Best wishes, Joris
