I fully understand *why* it is the way it is, but I'm using the changelog-mode as sort of daily journal thingy to keep track of what I'm doing, and my mind thinks in chronological order, not reverse (chronological order) :) Since I *am* the only one accessing this particular file, I'd like it to append the entries instead. Now, if only there were a decent 'diary-mode' or something. The existing 'diary-mode' IMO would be more appropriately named 'calendar-mode' or 'organizer-mode' since it really only allows you to schedule events, not really keep a log. Changelog seems to do what I want, just backwards :) - -- Seeya, Paul -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.2 06/23/2000 (debian 2.2-1) iD8DBQE8vCSjuweSOVPxKO4RAu2HAKCCq67lX1wvLve4C9V/ZulZZFpoWACgtuE1 /PggTL5BdsFlV0NuI5Vwqbg= =Oq+t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
