RE: simple question regexp-face

I can write a Lisp function to do that, but I'd rather not spend the time because there is a truckload of details about UI we'd have to thrash out. But you *also* specify an implementation, which presumably you'd like to get working. I can't help you with that when none of it makes sense in my XEmacs. I still don't understand where the function `set-regexp-face-interactively' comes from, and what are the arguments "V" and "highlight"? Is that a function you defined? Is "highlight" supposed to be a face? Once again, that function is not present in my XEmacs, at least not the way I use it. It might be a function in a package I happen not to use, but interactive functions like that are normally autoloaded so at least the documentation and arguments are available via C-h f. C-h f does not know about that function in my installation. With no documentation, it's really hard to give you any advice at all. The only thing I can suggest is that face names are symbols, not strings, so (set-regexp-face-interactively "V" 'highlight) might do what you want. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
