I have never heard of that behavior before, and I don't remember seeing that in XEmacs (but I started with an extensive init.el from one of the daddy rabbits which may be the reason). I'll see if a double-semicolon changes the behavior. BTW, do you know how to change that behavior? Thanks, Alexis. Cheers! -Tom
