When I run emacs with "emacs --nw" from a Terminal window, yank-pop works just like I expect it to. But when I invoke the Emacs application from the finder (like other OS X applications) things are screwy. The first yank-pop of a sequence seems to yank the top of the kill ring (i.e., the same text yanked by the immediately preceding C-y) rather than the previous entry. So, for example, C-k C-y M-y is always a no-op, whereas I expect it to replace the rest of the line with the previous kill. I don't know quite where to ask about this since the provenance of my Emacs is so informal. Any help would be appreciated. /Larry Denenberg larry@denenberg.com http://larry.denenberg.com/ In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.2) of 2002-11-27 on darkstar.local. configured using `configure '--with-carbon' '--without-x'' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_US locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t
