This seems the most Lispish and most generic of approaches. (You'll still want to allow it to be t-or-nil as well, of course.) You'll need to do some extra work, because many internal callers consult the variable to determine whether to e.g. create new records, and because `bbdb-readonly-p' is used as a modeline indicator as well, so some variable must always track the current read-only state. Further, what state is the indicator in the modeline if you're displaying multiple records? I could hack this up easily (and in fact have a halfway-hacked-up patch)... if it was at all clear what to do in cases like this. Maybe we need a third indicator for `partially read-only', or maybe we should indicate read-only state with a new face rather than a modeline indicator... -- `In the future, company names will be a 32-character hex string.' --- Bruce Schneier on the shortage of company names ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
