And it is not contained within the Emacs manual. And we are only talking about fewer than 30 entries in an index with nearly 2000 entries anyway, so it doesn't bloat the index and most important, it is useful. -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
