I rather > thought that the main command loop advances point in these cases. Yes, that's why I wrote "when forward-char is used interactively, the resulting buffer position is changed more than one character". If C-f results in movement of more than one position, normal users think it's done by C-f. I just thought it may be good to have a pointer to a place describing a position adjustment done by the command loop (if any). --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
