Thomas: when i repeat the exercise with the shell, everything is lost: both bolding and color. The variable enriched-translations is ((face (bold-italic "bold" "italic") (bold "bold") (italic "italic") (underline "underline") (fixed "fixed") (excerpt "excerpt") (default) (nil enriched-encode-other-face)) (left-margin (4 "indent")) (right-margin (4 "indentright")) (justification (none "nofill") (right "flushright") (left "flushleft") (full "flushboth") (center "center")) (PARAMETER (t "param")) (FUNCTION (enriched-decode-foreground "x-color") (enriched-decode-background "x-bg-color") (enriched-decode-display-prop "x-display")) (read-only (t "x-read-only")) (display (nil enriched-handle-display-prop)) (unknown (nil format-annotate-value))) This comes from starting emacs with -Q, and evaluating the variable enriched-translations in the scratch buffer. I went through the exercise with eshell, to make sure that nothing changed, and it doesn't seem to have: colors get saved, but not boldness. Eli: Maybe it is wrong for me to say "needs" :) :). It would be very convenient though, and i could tweak some variables in my start up (for testing with 'emacs -Q' though i would have to finagle it somehow i guess?). dan
