You may change `rcd-message' to message. If you wish to kill the list, then you need to do something like: (kill-new (prin1-to-string '(1 2 3 "My" "List" 10 20))) ⇒ t Then you do C-y: (1 2 3 "My" "List" 10 20) -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
