As I said - its your product and you have very valid reasons for not wanting to do this. Although I don't agree with the status quo I didn't write the code and so have (quite rightly) very little say in the matter. So I will take it that there is no interest in my providing updated docs and move on to other issues :) >It just escapes me why some people prefer to write Lisp >when Emacs is willing to do it for them.
