I'm not talking about "representation" in the sense of "print format" but in terms of which data-structure to use for them. But yes, of course that will affect the way they print. Clearly, I'd hope that the new representation would print `read'ably. > I am not convinced that it would be useful or convenient > to have them print out in a way that describes their contents. The way abbrev-tables print right now is just plain bad: it's neither computer-readable nor human-readable. Stefan
