Perhaps - but I know how you guys are.  I'm not saying I blame you.  I 
think it's good that you try to force people to learn.  I _did_ try to 
find the answer myself - I just failed ... miserably. =/

Thanks to all that helped!

By the way - it seems the startup-message was the cause for the first 
buffer I went to after the message displayed to put point at the wrong 
spot.  I just _knew_ (in my gut) that thing was evil for more than one 
reason!

Thanks so much =)  I now feel I have (my) emacs "back"!

Sincerely,

Eddie
