Subject: bug#15456: 24.3.50; doc string of `yes-or-no-p'
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 08:17:26 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ddd86308-8013-47c4-8807-8750b1799a98@default> (raw)
The doc string does not say what value is returned if the user types
`no', which is arguably more important information that saying, as it
does, that the function "returns t if the answer is yes."
Say clearly what the return value is in each case: "yes" (t) and "no"
(nil).
In GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
of 2013-09-20 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
