I don't like the prompt -- I like the way the old C-x 8 code doesn't show anything in the input area [until the normal time-delayed key-echo display shows something -- note that this still happens if you use `read-char' without a prompt] . It's not necessary to say (if old-method (activate-input-method old-method) (inactivate-input-method))))) because `activate-input-method' will do the Right Thing if old-method is nil. . You don't have to convert the character list to a string and then insert it -- you can just apply #'insert to the list, because insert also works with multiple character arguments... (sorry if these seem like nit-picking!) -Miles -- I'm beginning to think that life is just one long Yoko Ono album; no rhyme or reason, just a lot of incoherent shrieks and then it's over. --Ian Wolff
