In particular, in my personal text mode, I use "bullet points" something like this: o - One point o - Indented point o - This sentence starts with "This". I want M-a on the third line to go back to "This", not to the bullet. If "This" is to be recognised as BO sentence, then the " o - ", anchored at BOL, needs to be an EO sentence. In that case, where does backward-paragraph leave point? And where does start-of-paragraph-text leave point? And where does my patch leave point after (start-of-paragraph-text) (beginning-of-line) ? If you have set up each of those bullet points as a paragraph, then my patch should put point at the beginning of the line, and so should yours. But if you have not set up each bullet point as a paragraph, then none of these things should matter in that case (the third line). -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
