Cheers, anna --=20 (9) I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such. - Peter Anspach in "The Top 100 Things=20 I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord" _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
