If not, suggest to sync up with GNU > version rather than writing extra stuff. Yes I can, also in Xemacs. But that means I count the words I want to mark and then do say (mark-word -4) However when I mark a word with mark-word and then again execute the function its continues to mark the next word etc till I am pleased with the result. In order to do this backward I have to modify mark-something function which does not look that easy at least after simply running the debugger I did not understand when the mark is pushed forward.
