1103    @findex dired-copy-filename-as-kill
1104    The @kbd{w} command (@code{dired-copy-filename-as-kill}) puts the
1105    names of the marked (or next @var{n}) files into the kill ring, as if
1106    you had killed them with @kbd{C-w}.  With a zero prefix argument
1107    @var{n}=0, use the absolute file name of each marked file.  With just
1108    @kbd{C-u} as the prefix argument, use the relative file name of each
1109    marked file.  As a special case, if no prefix argument is given and
1110    point is on a directory headerline, @kbd{w} gives you the name of that
1111    directory without looking for marked files.
1112    
1113    @vindex dired-marked-files
1114    The main purpose of the @kbd{w} command is so that you can yank the
1115    file names into arguments for other Emacs commands.  It also displays
1116    what was pushed onto the kill ring, so you can use it to display the
1117    list of currently marked files in the echo area.  It also stores the
1118    list of names in the variable @code{dired-marked-files}, for use in
1119    Lisp expressions.
