Ha, I hear you -- this is what I meant to do originally. But then, the save-in-string approach (even though I always considered keeping state in the string a bit ugly) seemed more simple to me. As I said: writing elisp code is not my primary profession... :-) (Perhaps I should buy a book about it, or something.) Now that you confirmed my original idea, I'll see about re-writing the code accordingly, so thanks for the input! Grüße, Thomas
