Isn't that exactly > what C-x e will now do if you are defining a macro? Hmm, what I was thinking was that it would end the macro definition, and immediately execute the macro. I'm not sure that there's much advantage to having it just end the macro, since it's not much easier to type than `C-x )', and has less mnemonic value (by the same token, there seems little point to having `C-x )' execute the macro when used outside a macro definition). -Miles -- Run away!
