I'm sure they do, but when I run a command, I don't think in which module that is, to me it is all Emacs. Perhaps my statement should be specified into: Emacs AND Linux is not the same as Emacs AND Windows. It doesn't matter if Emacs is the same, if it doesn't play the same in a new environment - perhaps Emacs should *not* be the same to make it work the same? My .emacs broke on a dozen plus places - and the only thing I ever installed separately on Debian is some LaTeX stuff (that I remember). But, even if I were to give you half a point here, there were so many other details that I noticed. I use Emacs all the time so there is not a single char on any screen that can change color unnoticed. Just to give you an example: big files. I *never* had a problem editing, scrolling (browsing), etc., big files in Linux. In Windows, it started to lag like crazy. The whole thing was so frustrating I decided never to do it again, after putting a considerable effort to make it work (on the same computer). I believe that you got it to work, but I don't believe I could do the same. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
