Re: Interesting handling of command line arguments

Oliver> Did you try "--he"? Ah, OK. What happens is that --help and and --version are preprocessed in the C code to set a "do it and then kill emacs" flag. However, abbreviated versions aren't recognized by the Lisp code that processes most arguments (because it uses `assoc'). Do you prefer that we accept abbreviations, or did you actually want a file named --he? It's easy enough to do either. -- 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.
