Hmm, would it not better, to enable while-not-input also working with = Windows? ;-) (no, i have not the know-how to do this for myself, sorry - and it`s = also only a plea from me if a developer with the needed knowhow could do = it - i thought, some mails from Jason and lennard points to the right = entry?!...) IMHO this is a very important and helpful macro which enables Emacs and = other nifty tools on top of Emacs to be much more user-friendly and = -responsive! And IMHO a lot of windows-users want to use Emacs....... Klaus
