So you have to use crazy workarounds or face non-working stuff. Since that is not documented anywhere, you have to work with copy&amp;paste of code and workarounds from others, and pray. I haven't replicated myself, but he's usually a trustworthy observer although a PITA to work with. issue583 has been created on the XEmacs tracker. </pre> Stephen J.
