(Attributes)" appear in the minibuffer and obscure the prompt. the "Fontifying..." text remains in the minibuffer indefinitely. of course, in this particular case, i know the prompt is there because i mucked around with it. but, i don't want to do that all the time. frankly, i don't need the messaging -- is there any way to turn it off? or is there any way to delimit its duration to 5-10 seconds? mp -- Michael Powe Waterbury, CT USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- "It stands to reason that self-righteous, inflexible, single-minded, authoritarian true believers are politically organized.
