Sounds like an episode from M.A.S.H. :) Actually yes, I concur witn Emanuel here. Many human activities (and the more complex, the merrier) involve a part which might be called "craft" -- something you can learn only by trying, failing, trying again. This applies uniformly to proving math theorems, cooking, driving a bike -- and to bending Emacs to your will. The manual can't do this part for you :-) Cheers - t --JYK4vJDZwFMowpUq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAl/EtDQACgkQBcgs9XrR2kaIcACfb6V1Q+D4Tj1dqINMU0bUp28Y g4MAn1dlvUydvUR8Pkoy9jB+4cF+OKxs =ztMt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --JYK4vJDZwFMowpUq--
