I think I don't have the patched version. I will try to see what I can do with this but as long as I am not closing emacs after each edit, I don't need to restart it. I am happy! >> 5- Some times when I try to click on VHDL menu, this menu item >> disappears! > > Can you please describe this more? Exactly when does this happen? It happens before to me but it is working well now. I will post the details if it happens again to me. More on new and old problems that I have: 1- I can set speedbar and used it. It is a very useful facility. The problem is that I can not dock it into emacs. Is there any way to dock it into emacs so it doesn't start as a new window? 2- If I have a file that I modified with ISE, when I open it with Emacs, I can see a ^M at the end of each line. This generates error during indentation. I could not find any way to fix it. I only can remove them manually which is time consuming. Any way to do this in emacs or ISE or by any other tools? One suggestion: As during editing, it is possible to edit several files, is there any way to save all files just by pressing a button on toolbar or a menu item? My view of emacs for editing VHDL is no changed and I am very happy to use it with VHDL. Best regards and thanks for helping to use emacs.
