There are two more things that could be done which are mentioned in the documentation under TODO. You can fetch it from http://www.umverkehr.ch/egli/mgp.el There is one slight problem in that the name of this file clashes with an Emacs Lisp program named mgp.el to convert mgp file to LaTeX2e. This program is shipped in the contrib directory of magicpoint. I don't know if we have to go through the paper signing process again if we choose to change the name of the .el file. To me it looks like we have the following options: 1. Ignore the name clash and let the magicpoint developers handle this problem. This might be a problem for e.g. Debian where all magicpoint .el files are put into the site-lisp file. 2. Rename our version before putting it into Emacs. This might require a rerun of the paper signing process. Possible names are magicpoint.el or magicpoint-mode.el (mgp.el and mgp-mode.el are taken as they are shipped in the contrib directory of the magicpoint sources). > Have you tested it with the latest development version of Emacs, > as found in the CVS repository on savannah.gnu.org?

I have tested it with GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) on Debian I'll try to test it with CVS this week. -- Christian Egli wyona: research & development http://www.wyona.com
