Indeed, perhaps scan the rest of the emacs doc strings for similar problems... And hmmm, maybe also have a setting so one can either use the arrows or C-p,n to do the non goal-column behavior at the same time C-p,n or the arrows do the goal-column behavior. -- http://www.geocities.com/jidanni/ Taiwan(04)25854780 _______________________________________________ Bug-gnu-emacs mailing list Bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs
