thanks, but with dired-jump i go to the parent dir of the current dir. it 
does show the dir, which contains thye file on teh urerent line.

eg. if the find buffer has the curernt dir C:/dev/img-select and in there 
the cursor is on the line

-rw-rw-rw-   1     6264 Aug 11 12:34 source/XPImageList/AlphaImage.pas.

then dired-jump shows a dired buffer of the directory C:/dev. but obviously 
i want C:/dev/img-select/source/XPImageList.

cheers, leo
