Before I proceed a important question what Uwe> is the advantage of using define-minor-mode over the *old* Uwe> way of defining a minor mode? If you know exactly what you're doing, none. However, there are a number of conventions that you're supposed to follow in initializing a minor mode, and define-minor-mode ensures that. The problem is probably that XEmacs's version is not fully synched to GNU Emacs's. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering 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.
