In the terminal, it does not delete the line, only the characters in the line. You have to type C-u 1 C-k to kill the line. In X, kill-line works flawlessly, killing the line. I've checked that I've the same kill-whole-line value (namely: nil), and I can't find in the el code why it should behave differently. On X: GNU Emacs 21.3.50 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) of 2003-06-02 on thalassa In terminal: GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i586-suse-linux, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-03-28 on Cameron but that's been observed for at least version 20.7... -- __Pascal_Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.
