Same result -- removes thre green coloring. ----------------------- So, looks like "text properties" has more than one meaning? QUESTION: Is there a command that tells me at least as much as what get's REMOVED by facemenu-remove-face-props and facemenu-remove-all. What would REALLY be cool would be this: Suppose something displays in green. And it turns out that there's THREE different things map onto green, say italic, bold, and heading. What would be cool would be if display text properties would be able to say "green (due to being one or more of: italic, bold, or heading)". (Implementation: slow. So what? Who cares? How often is it going to get used? Not very -- but when that info is needed, it's *really* needed.) Suggestions? Thanks! David
