I can't speak for Icicles, I've never used it. Besides, that's Drew's job. :-) However, you might want to look into "recentf", which is a built-in package. It keeps a list of the most recently opened files. The value of defaults to sixteen, as I recall, but it can be changed. When you access the list (from the menu bar or from C-x C-r) it presents you with that list. You can then select the file you want to open. I've found it quite handy. Anyway, I hope this helps. --Dale -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
