This leads me to more questions? 1. In the code you have currenly written, where does the plug-in name come from? In other words, how is it specified? 1a. Do Lisp programs specify it? 1a. Is there code in Emacs that figures out the right plug-in to use? If so, what method does it use, and based on what information? 2. In the code you have currenly written, what prevents use of a bad or ugly plug-in? -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
