I have a auto-spell minor mode that spells words (via ispell) as you type. For those of us who's spelling is bad, it would be wonderful. I ran into the same problem. The best solution included changing the way minor modes were handled. The Big name minor modes (fill, abrev) are hard coded into the C source code. There should be a way to have a list checked after each character insert to see what minor modes should be done. Code was posted to do this, but I got the drift that this would not see "real" light till the next major release of gnu emacs. Does anyone over at the fsf know if there will be such a hook? /Bob... -- {...}!rutgers!mende mende@aramis.rutgers.edu mende@zodiac.bitnet The Korean War must have been fun.
