Hi Beverly, should I be able to assist you with some checks, please feel free to send the code.
I run python 2.5 with XEmacs 21.5 (beta28) "fuki" (+CVS-20070806) [Lucid] (i386-suse-linux, Mule) of Sun Sep 23 2007 on verdi GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0) of 2007-11-24 on dede Andreas Röhler Beverley Eyre wrote: > Hi Andreas, > > Well, you could be right, no doubt.
