[snip] Please don't feel that I was hostile to your idea. I just saw Emacs, Guile, and Scheme, and saw a perfect (IMHO) opertunity to be a smart-ass. My only real objection to programing my Word Processor is embedding macros in the documents and thus opening up the possiblity of Macro Viruses like MS did in the mid ninetys. Other than that, I can surely see some important uses for it, especiallly in the area of mail merge. So keep on thinking. -- Robert G.
