I want to open a new file in a different directory than the current one.

Pressing C-x C-f -> I could enter a file name. But I don't.

Pressing RET

The directory listing (mode (dired by name)) comes up and I can navigate through it by using the cursor and RET. No problem.

I navigate to the existing directory I want to create the new file in.

How can I enter the name of the new (nonexisting) file in that case?

EDIT: Because I am quite new to emacs: How could I answer such simple questions to my self?

Press C-x C-f and you are back to the minibuffer and can enter a filename.
