I edit a lot of lisp programs, and I find I just use `C-M-b C-M-k' -- it's actually easier to type, since you can just hold down the C-M- keys, and doesn't involve any `stretch' keys like DEL. You can actually move around easily while still holding the C-M- keys (e.g., hold down C-M- and then hit `u u b') before hitting `k', and I don't find that deleting the _previous_ sexp is common enough to really warrant a dedicated bit of space in my brain... -Miles -- Come now, if we were really planning to harm you, would we be waiting here, beside the path, in the very darkest part of the forest?
