Dear friends, I wrote many lisp contributions to emacs, long time ago, when version 20.3 was used. I got used to my additions, and since then I continue to use this version, and I never sent my contributions. I decided to send them now, please have a look and see if they may be integrated into the next version. All my code has my name "Reuven Ianconescu". The file my_emacs_functions.el is entirely mine, and I added many things to dired.el , like changing file name in dired mode and some kind of emacs menu. Thanks, Reuven Ianconescu
