I figured that out too, but forgot to post a response. Yeah, WordPress has a nasty habit of doing that for one reason or another. I figured that out too, but forgot to post a response.

Anything special required to set that up? "C-x ." in my Emacs responds with "fill-prefix cancelled". @Brad: If you open a file and it's the wrong one, you can use "C-x C-v" to "find-alternate-file" (or, of course, "M-x find-alternate-file"). This is really useful when you are working pretty deep in the directory tree, and you make a typo in a filename; it will then close the file you accidentally opened, and open the alternate that you specify. @Nathan: That doesn’t seem to work in my Emacs Snapshot (that which is set to become Emacs 23, from CVS, in Ubuntu).

That'll definitely be something I use for sure. Not sure why I didn’t find that sooner, but thanks! That’ll definitely be something I use for sure.

I use that a lot. Since emacs 22. something, you can also cycle buffers with C-x . I use that a lot.
