So I thought this might do the trick: (while (not (bolp)) (forward-line 0)) Nope. But if I do that, and then do it again, then it works. That is, if I let the display loop run a bit, then it gets past the hidden line ending. Or something. The documentation of `beginning-of-line' looks to be written in a strange, foreign language that I can't make heads or tails of. "Fields"? What's a "field"? So is this a bug or are we now supposed to replace all our `beginning-of-line' calls with something new that makes point go to the beginning of the line? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
