I agree. My guess is that the goal changes where you'd expect it to, i.e., when you mistakenly hit Enter instead of 'j', or something like that. A way to return to a previous goal might be handy -- perhaps a new mark could be created, which would record the last goal non-zero and non-eol goal. paul =---------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 18.3 degrees)
