Thanks, ok. On the net there are some services which allow you to send sms messages for almost free. I use mozilla and mozdev, which then calls (X)Emacs. The thing is that a SMS message should not exceed 150 (or may be 155) chars. So that's why I thought it would be useful to have even a simple major mode which would allow me not to type more than 150 chars. Uwe
