Hello

GNU Emacs 23.1.1

I am wondering is there a way to display the path of the file in the status bar, instead of just the filename.

I have to open many files in many directories, and sometimes I forget what directory they are in. Just easier to display the some of the path in the status bar if that is possible.

Sometimes my directory paths are very long.

for example

/projects/clientserver/trunk/src/client/client.c

like this in the status bar, just display the last two directories.

/src/client/client.c

Many thanks for any suggestions,
