When I get around to upgrading my Emacs, I will give three cheers. Different strokes for different folks. My Emacs never communicates with anybody but me. Time after time, when I was in a file and wanted to look at the directory, I have forgotten to delete the slash at the end of the prompt, with the result that nothing happened. I always wondered what the idea was. -- --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: Nonloving kindness is the more admirable kind. :||
