If so, I object. I don't quite follow. If you want to mark the prompt, there's a gazillion ways of doing that, including `C-u C-a C-'. Or just hold down `'. :-) (By the way, I think it would be nice if `' didn't enter the prompt.) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
