Yeah, the whole buffers-menu situation is kind of screwed up in emacs; too many separate implementations of the same thing not sharing any behavior. It's been one of those things I've wanted to clean up, but of course, `so little tyme'... > After trying this out, may I suggest msb.el, like another poster > did. That might do the trick better.

Probably the various modes ought to be merged to some degree. For instance, I added some control variables like `buffers-menu-show-status' to the normal buffers-menu code which I'd like msb-mode to pay attention to as well. In fact, I think it would be cleaner to have the distinction of `grouped by type' etc. an orthogonal attribute of the normal buffers-menu, rather than a separate mode (the current implementation is presumably because msb-mode was originall distributed separately from emacs). -Miles --=20 I have seen the enemy, and he is us. -- Pogo
