[redirected to -beta] For the benefit of those who missed the patch that this thread is about, I've included it here: ,---- | GNU Emacs 21.1 introduced a new function called interactive-form | that returns the interactive specification of a function.

We could, but in this case it won't matter all that much. It is just an alias (sorta kinda) and aliases work both ways. What John has done here is made it easier for people to make the transition from GNU/Emacs to XEmacs. Besides doing it this way makes _us_ look like leaders and pioneers. Which is exactly what we are, aren't we? :-) SJT> Comments? I think what John submitted was the best solution. SJT> Don't tell _me_ we were first, tell _them_. No need. Let's just be proud to be pioneers of our field. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
