That's easy: 1. C-h f delete-horizontal-space RET 2. Click the link to the library (`simple.el' in this case) where the help text says the function (`delete-horizontal-space' in this case) is defined. That takes you directly to the definition of `delete-horizontal-space' (source code). > If nobody else points me to a already supported way of > handling my case I'll follow Drews advise and pose the question > to a wider audience. You will see from its definition code that `delete-horizontal-space' does not (yet) do what you want wrt non-breaking space. But you already knew that. ;-)
