I.e. even none of the "hidden" buffers, with spaces before their names, contain any record. It's like one was typing one's password or something. Gone without a trace. The only way infact to cut one to show you is with the mouse and emacs -nw. The latest occurrence was gnus asking me if I want to continue when the nntp server had no response, but I'm sure you can come up with other examples. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
