Re: crm.el (completing-read-multiple) in XEmacs

The version from Emacs 22 (CVS) uses the function `minibuffer-prompt-end' (a `diff -w -u' of those versions is attached), a built-in function in Emacs 22, not present in XEmacs. AfAICS, it would be sufficient if you'd include the Emacs 21 version of `crm.el' in edit-utils. [My understanding is, that XEmacs users (regardless whether they use a recent XEmacs 21.4 or XEmacs 21.5) would then just need to upgrade the edit-utils package to get this. Please CMIIW.] It would be great if you could include `crm.el' in the next packages updates. TIA. In case you consider to use the Emacs 22 version, here's some additional information. I don't know if XEmacs has similar functions that could be used: ,----[ <f1> f minibuffer-prompt-end RET ] | minibuffer-prompt-end is a built-in function in `C source code'. | (minibuffer-prompt-end) | | Return the buffer position of the end of the minibuffer prompt. | Return (point-min) if current buffer is not a minibuffer. `---- In Emacs 21, `minibuffer-prompt-end' is defined in `simple.el': ,---- | (defun minibuffer-prompt-end () | "Return the buffer position of the end of the minibuffer prompt. | Return (point-min) if current buffer is not a mini-buffer." | (field-beginning (point-max))) `---- ,----[ <f1> f field-beginning RET ] | field-beginning is a built-in function. | (field-beginning &optional POS ESCAPE-FROM-EDGE) | | Return the beginning of the field surrounding POS. | A field is a region of text with the same `field' property. | If POS is nil, the value of point is used for POS. | If ESCAPE-FROM-EDGE is non-nil and POS is at the beginning of its | field, then the beginning of the *previous* field is returned. `---- HTH.
