No. As far as I can see, it's the same as the `old' awk-mode, except with lots of menus added. Most of the menu entries seem to actually be `documentation,' where each menu entry label contains a short summary of a function or variable's usage, and selecting it inserts the summary as a sort of `template'. I'm not entirely sure if the menus are the best place for all this info, but it might be handy (I'm forever browsing the manual whenever I write an awk program). There are other small changes too, but they _seem_ to actually be reversions, possibly because he based his code on an older copy of awk-mode.el than is in CVS (it's hard to tell because he sent the whole file instead of a patch). -Miles -- Saa, shall we dance?
