I find the name `literal' not clear for the opposite reason -- it seems too broad, and literal seems like a work that might have many other potential meanings. Since the crucial point is that it's a literal field embedded in a buffer, how about something like `edit-embedded-literal' or `edit-literal-field'? -Miles -- `To alcohol!
