This operation should work, so if it "does not work" you probably found a bug. If it did do something, but just not what you wanted, then it would help to spell out what it did and in which way this didn't satisfy your needs. >> Good question. Please send it as a feature request via >> M-x report-emacs-bug. And this suggestion was really the most important one: IIUC you have solved your immediate problem and are looking for a way to avoid such pain in the future, so M-x report-emacs-bug is one of the best ways to do that.
