Keywords: Fix.

Lines: 30 Many people have mailed me saying that attempts to extract the code I posted fail at the uncompress stage with a corrupt input error. The resulting MouseAndMenuEmacs.tar file typically ends in lines like this: (defun dired-do-deletions () "In dired, delete the files flagged for deletion." (interactive) (let (delete-list asssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss the repeated "s" chars continue as nauseum. The cause is a mailer somewhere that stripped a few lines from the start of the 3rd part (or was it the end of the second part?). I reposted the 3rd part earlier in an attempt to get around the problem but it still remains. Fortunately I have now duplicated it here. What follows is a patch to be applied to the concatenation of the 2 original posts and the repost of the 3rd part: I have tried this here and it works. Sorry for all the hassle, if we had a "shar" here that could cope with shell scripts as input this fiasco would never have happened....
