Is it really useful to > give the same face name various buffer-local definitions? To have a variable would be enough for most purposes I can think of. It surely is enough for gamegrid. Another thing, BTW, that should be buffer-local rather than frame local is the frame parameter `cursor-type'. I am mainly thinking of the ability to turn the cursor off via=20 (modify-frame-parameters nil '((cursor-type . nil))) gamegrid.el provides a function that turns the cursor off in XEmacs. I have not enabled this, of course, because it should only apply to the game buffer. [Other cases where I, as a User, would like to turn the cursor off are dired or the *Group* and *Article* buffers in Gnus. I'd prefer to use the line highlighting facility provided by `hl-line-mode' to select things.] -- Oliver --=20 Oliver Scholz 17 Messidor an 210 de la R=E9volution Taunusstr. 25 Libert=E9, Egalit=E9, Fraternit=E9! 60329 Frankfurt a.
