I suppose it depends on who you talk too -- I suspect people who would like RET bound to `newline-and-indent' (and there seem to be quite a few of them, judging from the mailing lists) might also like DEL bound to something higher-level too, and the people who strongly oppose the former binding might hate the latter as well... -Miles -- `To alcohol!
