title: Display path of file in status bar
body: <p>GNU Emacs 23.1.1</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering is there a way to display the path of the file in the status bar, instead of just the filename.</p>
  
  <p>I have to open many files in many directories, and sometimes I forget what directory they are in. Just easier to display the some of the path in the status bar if that is possible. </p>
  
  <p>Sometimes my directory paths are very long.</p>
  
  <p>for example</p>
  
  <pre><code>/projects/clientserver/trunk/src/client/client.c
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>like this in the status bar, just display the last two directories.</p>
  
  <pre><code>/src/client/client.c
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Many thanks for any suggestions,</p>
