"If `show-trailing-whitespace' is non-nil, this command will just kill the rest of the current line, even if there are only nonblanks there." Surely that should be "even if there are only blanks"? (I'll happily fix this if I'm right, I'm just double-checking as I'm a bit surprised to find an error in such a frequently-read place!) -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
