The default is the "programming" version, i.e. search for everything. If that is the only reason for you to change, then you'll be disappointed in XEmacs. I don't think it will switch to CL any time soon. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Speak softly and carry a +6 two-handed sword.
