All I wanted was to see a backtrace so I can tell the layers of stuff calling that function. So provide a debug-on-call. And, inside the Emacs Info manual, all we can find about debugging is about debugging non emacs lisp. If we want to learn about the emacs debugger then we have to know to leave the emacs manual and search in a neighboring manual not mentioned via any searching in the emacs manual. BTW debug-on-entry-1: gnus-uu-post-news not user-defined Lisp function same deal. not too many things i can debug these days. i know. no more debugging for me. i will post my problems instead. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
