You're right, that works.  I had been bringing the file up with f &
then saving it.  That works with .doc files, but with .pdf files Adobe
commandeers the keyboard, and the minibuffer is inactive.  I tried
using C-s there, but got a message from Adobe saying the file couldn't
be saved.  Never mind.  Thanks for your attention.
