The unfairness in our story is that after exiting emacs, our solid red cursor that says "Ommmm" is replaced by the emacs 'where's the john, urgent' prompt for the remainder of our shell session. Ok, maybe that was the original login prompt. In that case I sort of apologize to emacs... -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
