I am very sorry to hear that. While I'm glad to hear you're healing,
you might want to look at Ben's page at
www.666.com, and Ben might
have some advice on configuring XEmacs advantageously.

Ah, OK, put that way I remember this vaguely. Maybe you did report

I don't know if it would be acceptable; I'll need to make time to look
at this and I also want a second opinion from "Dr." Wing. I would
appreciate having a patch to look at without promising application,
but that's up to you.
