I'm not aware of any "save-mark-excursion" as in `save-excursion' or `save-restriction', but what about simply `pop-mark' last thing? (defun transpose-over-word-2 () (interactive) (backward-char 1) (push-mark) (forward-word 3) (backward-char 1) (transpose-words 0) (forward-word 1) (pop-mark) ) Or perhaps it should be done after `transpose-words', as that is what acts on the region... If that doesn't work saving it in a `let' first and then pushing it back should work... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
