To me, it would be cleaner to define them as [signal usr1], [signal usr2], etc. Ok, there is currently no "etc" in emacs 22, but if we later want to be able to catch more signals, this would be a cleaner way to extend the interface. We could even allow numeric bindings, like [signal 10] for SIGUSR1, and also variants like [signal SIGUSR1]. This is the last chance to change the interface, if people agree that this is cleaner. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
