Hello
There is one function from Xemacs which I have not seen in GNU emacs and
which I miss very much.
(defun mark-end-of-buffer (&optional arg)
Could this function just be used, or its functionality be implemented?
The function is in Xemacs simple.el, the code is now under GPL 3, but I
am not sure about the FSF copyright business and that is why I have to
copied the code in this message.
thanks
Uwe Brauer

It is defined in lisp/misc.el, but not with an optional arg, so it
doesn't have the full features set of the one in XEmacs.

A couple of comments:
- could it please move to simple.el, since misc.el usually is not
loaded per default.
- the current version does set the mark (visible) even with
transient-mark-mode on. So propose the following modification
(defun mark-beginning-of-buffer ()
"Set mark at the beginning of the buffer."
(interactive)
(push-mark (point-min) nil t ))
(defun mark-end-of-buffer ()
"Set mark at the end of the buffer."
(interactive)
(push-mark (point-max) nil t))
- now the Xemacs version is more sophisticated (takes into account
the size of buffer. But may be this ancient code, when (X)emacs
could deal well with large buffers. I will ask on xemacs beta.

Try M-x report-emacs-bug requesting its addition, with arguments for
how/when/where/why you use it.
