(Otherwise you'd have to hit C-x e each time? > Or am I simply confused?) Hum, maybe it's a feature introduced since the last release? When you call the macro with `C-x e', Emacs give you the chance, after the call, to type just `e' to repeat the macro. Fine, it isn't? So the idea, here, is to start Emacs with the -q flag, and open .emacs. Go at the and of the first sexp, and then, something like this: C-x ( C-x C-e ; eval last sexp M-x the-thing-I-want-to-see-if-it-fail ; test M-x the-thing-maybe-I-have-to-do-to-go-to-.emacs-buffer C-M-f ; go to next sexp C-x ) After that, you press once `C-x e', and then, you leave your finger on the `e' key until the thing you want to test fails. --drkm
