It's strange that the interactive commands have no doc strings... I'll have to add some. I'll merge in the documentation you wrote in the bug report to explain the usage, and will use it in the Info docs as well. The defcustom will have to default to nil, I guess. Principe of least surprise and all. (That's too bad because stuff like this should be the default. But someone would complain if I made it so.) Thanks!

This is nicer than having to explicitly erase the contents of the minibuffer. In the next GNU Emacs release, the following will achieve this: (setq file-name-shadow-tty-properties '(invisible t)) (file-name-shadow-mode 1) so adding rfn-eshadow.el from the CVS repository to emacs-goodies-el is another possibility. (When Emacs 22 is packaged, I guess you may have to think about which should come first in the load-path; other packages that will be distributed with Emacs 22 and are already in emacs-goodies-el include table and wdired. Maybe this is already sorted -- I didn't look.) Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
