I know almost nothing about fields, but to me, the logical behaviour would be something like "... go instead to the *nearest* end of this field, i.e. either to the beginning or to the end (both when going forward and when going backward)" This would at least make C-n and C-p symmetric. -- Best wishes, Slawomir Nowaczyk ( slawomir.nowaczyk.847@student.lu.se ) To a man standing on the sun, everything looks like a conic section.
