Hi Oleh, In response to this and some other recent messages by others: If people have a tangential question within the context of a larger thread, please start a new thread by changing the subject line. A question about C pointers shouldn't be part of a discussion on whether Emacs should be rewritten in another language. It makes it hard to determine which messages to pay attention to, and that slows down my ability to keep on top of relevant questions. Thank you, John
