What Emacs version are you running (M-x emacs-version)? What operating system are you running it on? What windowing system or terminal/console are you running it on? The solution, if any, to your problem is bound up with the answers to these three questions. About six years ago I had this problem with Emacs 20.2 on the console on Linux 2.0.35, but got it solved. > Thanks for the help. > Regards, > Charles Davis -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
