Hrvoje> The punch-line of this joke is that I'm not sure what the Hrvoje> blessed way of doing this is. The `delete-forward-p' Hrvoje> function isn't even documented! And it's (probably Hrvoje> unnecessarily) inlined, which means it will screw all the Hrvoje> existing byte-compiled code as soon as we change its Hrvoje> definition. Um, okaaaay... Hrvoje> For the former, I don't understand; A godsend, a Windows X server (non-free, but darn good). Reduces NT to the bland bagel that delivers the yummy cream cheese and lox of X to my palette. Sorry, I'm still not making much sense, eh? Hrvoje> for the latter, you're welcome. :-) Hrvoje> Python is very cool. It's a shame it doesn't have lexical Hrvoje> closures, though. Even the four-letter-P-word "language" Hrvoje> has them. Sorry, I don't know what that last bit means... :-) The standard Python response is "use a class". Beyond that, comp.lang.python is the place to debate stuff like this, so I won't bore the XEmacs list any more than I already have! -Barry
