Version 3.10 is much better, I think, because it has named procedures rather than just macro numbers. You can do something like this: store-procedure line2top 1 redraw-display !endm macro-to-key line2top M-! This would be line-to-top-of-window, except 3.10 as distributed doesn't have long-enough buffer names for all that (and doesn't have length checking on strcpy etc. :-( ) In addition, I think 3.10's search functions are LOTS faster, but that could have been in 3.9: was searching in big files slow in 3.8 but fast in 3.9? If they're the same speed then 3.10 is a BIG improvement. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
