I think it's good that you try to force people to learn. I _did_ try to find the answer myself - I just failed ... miserably. =/ Thanks to all that helped! By the way - it seems the startup-message was the cause for the first buffer I went to after the message displayed to put point at the wrong spot. I just _knew_ (in my gut) that thing was evil for more than one reason! Thanks so much =) I now feel I have (my) emacs "back"! Sincerely, Eddie
