What exactly is the mode? and what exactly you mean by macro? What do you mean by emacs window stuck? For how long? Also, OS and emacs version. you need to be specific and give concrete detail. one thing of note is that emacs doesn't support thread. Practically this means that most things you do in emacs, emacs needs to finish that first. This is especially noticable when do do network related things like ftp. Don't know what is your macro. But if that is computationally intensive, few sec wait is prob right. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
