Re: Still trying to figure out ^Ms in text files

David> it seems odd to me that the notion of "Auto" and "Raw" David> seems opposite to what it appears to be doing. That's a good guess, but happens to be wrong. "Auto" and "Raw" refer to character coding and not to EOL processing at all. You have forced the character coding to "autodetect", and it stays that way because non-Mule XEmacs (ie, pre 21.5.6 on Windows) has no detection logic. I guess we could add some code to force that to "Raw" in no-Mule XEmacsen (because "Raw" is the only way that they know how to process character codes), but it would be a lot of effort for little gain. I'll put something in the FAQ and the User's Guide.

I'll look into adding balloon help to the coding info in the modeline. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
