Since this works im Emacsen 21.x, 22.x, and 23.x, I presume you have =20 some setting in your init files that change the default behaviour. =20 Could you launch GNU Emacs with -Q (and another time with -q) and see =20= how the cursor works? -- Greetings Pete And always remember the last words of my grandfather, who said: =93A =20 truck!=94 =97 Emo Phillips
