Storm ... just added a new function `format-mode-line' to CVS emacs which returns the current mode-line or header-line of the selected (or a specified) window as a string [without properties]. This is a nice function! But it needs a better documentation string. Currently, the first line of the documentation string says; Return the mode-line of selected window as a string. It should say something like: Format, according to optional arg FORMAT, the mode-line of selected WINDOW. Then the second and subsequent lines could say: If neither optional argument is given, return the window's current mode line as a string. See `mode-line-format' for detailsof how to specify FORMAT. If FORMAT is t, return the buffer's header-line. Second optional arg WINDOW specifies a different window to use as the context for the formatting. Should the word `header-line' be replaced with `Info header-line' to make more sense to people? -- Robert J. Chassell bob@rattlesnake.com Rattlesnake Enterprises http://www.rattlesnake.com
