Whoa! Hang on ... that's just not so. You don't have to redefine entire keymaps or anything. Whoa. Heck, auto-fill can be written in Elisp. Overwrite could too, though it's not as nice and pretty as in C. More to the point though, minor modes can most certainly be written in Elisp. -- tale@rpitsmts.bitnet, tale%mts@rpitsgw.rpi.edu, tale@pawl.rpi.edu
