Well, then we won't need to worry about us not being able to use define-minor-mode for them. > make sure they're kept in sync.

That won't work if modes set auto-fill-function themselves to a function... -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
