Thanks for the responses guys.<br><br>I think the point I am trying to make here is that it&#39;s a *big* task to fix word boundaries for every case (every word-related key binding multiplied by each language/major mode I use!). <br>

<br>I presume that Emacs hackers either a) put up with it or b) spend a lot of time fixing each case until they are happy.<br><br>I suspect the answer is b. ;-)<br><br>I wish there was a single minor-mode that fixes all the word boundary issues for every major-mode I use!  I can but dream.   Or maybe I will get round to doing it myself one day!  ;)<br>

<br>Cheers,<br>Paul Drummond<br>
