After a while thought that since I had pasted things from an emacs *Help* buffer, in order to get rid of their underlinings etc. at least to make sure what the file really looks like, i did C-x C-s C-x C-v, well, first is asks me if i want to kill the waiting [reportbug command], i say no and continue on editing until a final C-x # upon which time a *loss* buffer appears etc. ... etc. a non expert would have big difficulty in completing the reportbug process at this point. please try for yourself. me of course found the right buffers and wrote the right files lucily, but i'm just saying you've set up a danger zone for a newbie. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
