You can do this by disabling the fringe. The manual says: Manual> You can enable and disable the fringes for all frames using `M-x Manual> fringe-mode'. To enable and disable the fringes for the selected Manual> frame, use `M-x set-fringe-style'. Doing this means that code is sometimes overlayed with "=>" and breakpoint icons display in the margin instead of the fringe (this cause the code to shift to the right). Why would you want to do this? What problem do you see with the triangle in the fringe? Nick
