I do check it periodically, but I don't think it has ever caught anything worth keeping. :) Anyway, I know that doesn't fix any bugs in XEmacs, but it might help you prevent further crashes. Oh, BTW, the original message that caused the crash may very well still be on your filesystem. Look for, I think, ~/.emacs-crash-box. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: A94B3003>---| | SXEmacs - The only _______ you'll ever need. | | Fill in the blank, yes, it's THAT good! | |------------------------------------&lt;steve(a)sxemacs.org&gt;---| _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
