Subject: *scratch* lost
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 11:20:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mJidnVTa8bVPTK7XnZ2dnUVZ_s6dnZ2d@sysmatrix.net> (raw)

I was doing some key mapping in .emacs and instead of saving the file, 
restarting Emacs, and testing the new assignment I was doing M-x eval 
region on changed areas of .emacs Somehow all (or many) keychords 
started acting strangely, e.g. C-x 1 would open subr.el in a new buffer 
instead of showing current buffer alone in frame, even cursor movement 
keys did something else. I killed .emacs buffer without saving (losing 
changes) and then exited Emacs. On restarting everything looks and works 
normally exept that *scratch* is empty (three commented lines are 
missing) and it is in Fundamental mode instead of Lisp Interaction. Can 
I get the old *scratch* buffer back? How?
