Of course. Thanks. Now that it sort of works I can see that the approach
is hopelessly naive. If I needed such a thing I would use the
SubWordMinorMode suggested by Johan. The latest cut, such as it is:
(defun forward-stud ()
"Move point forward to next word or upper case character as the case may
be"
(interactive)
(forward-char)
(while (not (looking-at " \\|[A-Z]"))
(forward-char))
(while (looking-at " ") (forward-char))
(while (looking-at ";") (foward-line))
(while (eolp) (forward-char))
)
