| As far as I can tell now it runs ok, but we have a problem with the (.emacsrc)

| delete-window) execute but immedately abort the execution of the startup-file,

| All seems to be well if these commands are executed manually from the keyboear

| Thanks for listening and in advance for any help.

I have noticed exactly the same thing on a Pyramid system, micro-emacs being
compiled with the same options (and the same *.h files) than on a Sun-3,
where it runs fine.

Any comment anyone?

I have discovered one more trouble (in addition to my previously posted -but
not answered- unbind-key bug) :
when doing a previous-word on the first line of a file, current macro aborts
if this word is the first one, although the cursor is in the right place
(beginning of line). You have to put a !force in front of previous-word.

(this is -of course- not a flame)

Thank you by advance.
