Again, you having to do that manually and repeatedly, what
problem does that indicate? Don't know but I would start
thinking from there as well ...

Aha, `dired'! \o/

That's it then, I did `find-file' with tramp.

No, you are right, if you do it with dired it happens as you
say and the reason is (again as you say) the
`default-directory' inheritance.

Bug unless/until someone does a super-cool man page interface
which then would would ask - local or remote man page for
find(1) ...
