By the way, the buffer it shows has all errors from this session, not just 'this error' -- user could be looking at an earlier response... I did C-h k C and didn't see any switches to 'don't insist I hit "?" just to see what happened wrong' (odd, no where else on the system do I have to hit "?" first.) -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
