text-properties: some buffers like, some don't. Why?
I've got a green line. M-w copy it, yank it into *scratch*. NO LONGER GREEN.
So, (after toggling read-only), I try yanking it into *Help*. STAYS green.
(a) What's the distinction?
(b) WHY the distinction?
Thanks!
David

emacs-lisp-mode has font-lock set up, while help-mode does not.

THANK YOU!
David
PS: any advantage to having font-lock state shown
in the mode-line?
Ever seen it done?
