But with C-x C-e (ie. eval-last-sexp), it's the value in the let of eval-last-sexp-1 that gets setq'ed, and it's that same value in that let that is passed to my show function. Since eval-region is a built-in, it should not shade any lisp variable I guess. Perhaps eval-last-sexp-1 should be implemented with eval-region avoiding any variables. -- __Pascal_Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a fault in reality.
