Usually, when I do this, I'm not really interested in the values stored in the table, just in the fact whether the variable whose value I'm checking is actually pointing to a hash table. Is there a way to tell Emacs to not print the data of a hash table? TIA Joost -- Joost Kremers joostkremers@fastmail.fm Selbst in die Unterwelt dringt durch Spalten Licht
