I just wanted to let you know I didn't ignore this. I did look at the code
you posted, and tried a few variations. The reason I'm exploring
alternative approaches is that I simply came to the conclusion that I need
to work on the fundamentals of Lisp a bit more. I've been stabbing in the
dark at my .emacs for years without really understanding what I'm doing.
I've wasted a lot of time trying to accomplish 'simple' things because I
didn't know what I was doing.
