No, hooks are often troublesome and the more you put into them, the more trouble you get. In this case while I don't think the computer will blow up, I think the OP will be annoyed with this question popping up all the time. It isn't the Emacs way. And it is inefficient as well as without it, say 50% of the times it would be correct without any interference, now you have to answer yes or no 100% of the times instead. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
