It's *always* used in conjunction with another command, which may exit isearch or not. It's a character you can type, which can either exit isearch or not. I think we already have too many characters that have a special meaning in Isearch. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
