I looked at HighLevel many times; I didn't find it very helpful. For example, the simplest way to write a getBufferContents seems to be something like this: > getBufferContents :: BufferM String > getBufferContents = do topB > str <- liftM unlines $ whileB (liftM not $ atEof) > (readLnB) > return str (And I suspect this is less than optimal - presumably this would not respect the user's current position?) All the BufferM String functions are for too little things - like the current line, or current line from point, or region. None seem to do a simple thing like 'entire buffer'. -- gwern --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Yi development mailing list yi-devel@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/yi-devel -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
