I use yow.el with a local file to print funny one-line error messages, i.e. what I do is (fset 'undefined 'yow) (setq yow-file ".../talker.msg") and when a wrong key is pressed in a read-only buffer, it displays a misleading error message. For instance, trying to visit a file in the dired buffer with a wrong key may display such an error message: File not found. Should I fake it? (y/n) or Close your eyes and press escape three times. This is useful to always get ready for any surprise :-) -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
