Exactly. It is a weird default. If it were global, that would be it. It would have been perfect. I am a newbie to lisp. Drew, If I may request, If you can hack it up a little bit, it would be great. Perhaps concat the list as in bm-show-all and then do a bm-next on it, instead of a getting the list from the local buffer.

Not exactly as you wanted (and a strange default I must say - it had been a while since using it) after all - I was slightly mistaken and remembered it as moving buffers too. -- Google Talk : rileyrgdev@googlemail.com  http://www.google.com/talk ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML email  X              & vCards / \
