Offhand, I don't think it would be all that much work. However, I don't really care about the problem (C-e/C-k acting `unintuitively' inside prompts) very much, so I'm quite content to not fix it; keep it in mind if you receive any more bug reports about it, though. -Miles -- "I distrust a research person who is always obviously busy on a task." --Robert Frosch, VP, GM Research _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
