In sum, there is no help for users - no doc. I suspect that the workings of delim-col.el are too complicated to be explained in a doc string for any of the commands. If these commands are to be useful to users, I think the proper solution is to document them in the elisp manual. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
