C-h C-i lispref RET m index RET and C-h a \bread- are good starting points to access the wonderful online-documentation. Here's an example for user input: (defun ask-the-user-for-a-string () "* Ask user, who they are. Use M-n and M-p to pick choices from a history which is initialized to a list of likely users." (interactive) (let* ((likely-users '("me" "myself" "I")) (user (read-string "who are you? " "nobody" 'likely-users))) (message "Welcome, %s" user))) Michael> Where should I adress such questions ? The comp.emacs.xemacs newsgroup is the place to go. On xemacs-beta you should ask question, report success or failure, which relate to beta testing of XEmacs, currently XEmacs 21.2-bXX.
