It looks to me like it's a documentation bug (if that). The intent of the properties seems reasonably clear -- to allow hooks to be called when point moves across a _boundary_ in the text -- and the interpretation you apparently want doesn't even make much sense.[*] [*] The two properties will almost always be different from each other (because it's presumably desirable for different actions to take place upon entry and exit from a block of text), so your [apparent] interpretation would result in them being called for all movement, even within a region, and that contracts the names of the properties. -Miles -- (\(\ (^.^) (")") *This is the cute bunny virus, please copy this into your sig so it can spread.
