If it doesn't, learn some elisp and write them :) Generally if you want emacs to do something, it's already been written or just write it after you get comfortable with elisp. > * Autocompletion of expressions.

I don't know about dynamic tagging, but TAGS support is very good in emacs. > I don't want to abandon emacs because I use it for calendar, diary, > notes, etc. But for programming Slickedit is very interresting. So is emacs, but it has a bit of a learning curve and all those nifty features aren't setup by default. Do some browsing in the info tree to see what's available. -- burton samograd kruhft@kruhft.dyndns.org http://kruhftwerk.dyndns.org
