How > useful is that, really? If you ask it this way, then it's probably never useful. But when you use M-: on an expression which returns a character, then I find it handy to see the character rather than only its integer value. But maybe this feature is more trouble than it's worth. After all, you can always use M-: (string ) RET to force Emacs to show you the character. Stefan
