Before we get too carried away on the Lisp thing, I was thinking more of all the stuff you can supposedly tweak in .emacs, as opposed to major customizations above and beyond what's already provided but hard to find/set up.... for instance, being accustomed to DEL deleting the character under the cursor (C-d in emacs), can I change that key-binding in .emacs?? And, also important, will changing it break 10 other things..... stuff like that, anyway. geoff ****************************************************************** Geoff Allsup [EMAIL PROTECTED] Upper Ocean Processes Group Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA, USA ****************************************************************** ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
