De nada. Bits and pieces of collective oldbie memory can be almost as good as a single newbie memory sometimes. I remembered the key bindings and the "gen" part of the command names; that's all. And I was wrong about the key bindings - I had probably bound them to `C-x [' and `C-x ]' because of the conflict with (the suggested) `C-x (' and `C-x )'. I no longer had the file myself. I tossed all Emacs files that weren't my own when I swam across the Atlantic many moon ago - too much baggage, and some of the files would have attracted sharks. I was thinking that this feature was part of Emacs, but that was mistaken. Perhaps Yzhh will fix up something that could be added to Emacs. I remember using this quite a bit back in the Middle Ages. > That is 20 years ago! Yup. We should get a gold medal just for surviving Emacs this long. Emacs should get a medal for surviving us this long too... Hey, I hear Richard's having a big 35th birthday party for Emacs in 2011 at his house! Ya'll come!
