The first bug report I could find for it was from Chris Torek, dated 1983! Since I started writing GNU Emacs in 1984, that must have been rather prescient on his part. Or maybe he was using some other Emacs version. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
