(read-no-blanks-input prompt &optional initial inherit-input-method) Read a string from the terminal, not allowing blanks. Prompt with prompt. Whitespace terminates the input. If initial is non-nil, it should be a string, which is used as initial input, with point positioned at the end, so that SPACE will accept the input. (Actually, initial can also be a cons of a string and an integer. Such values are treated as in `read-from-minibuffer', but are normally not useful in this function.) Third arg inherit-input-method, if non-nil, means the minibuffer inherits the current input method and the setting of`enable-multibyte-characters'. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
