dired-do-create-files: Marked Move: target must be a directory: /tmp/e [2 times]
But I just created that directory with the + command didn't I?
What went wrong?
Well,
The plus command, dired-create-directory, didn't even crap out with an
error that there happened to be a regular file called /tmp/e !

Can you believe that?

Sorry I can't find the previous bug #.
