Thanks, Stefan. I hope Chong and you will keep observing this common sens principle. Emacs is fully customizable, but only advanced users *really can* customize. So please, always make defaults suit what beginners expect, and leave gurus change them if they want. 1 - Tmm suits better what any beginner expect than default emacs marks. 2 - It can be turned off by advanced users --> Good choice. Thanks Paul
