The fact that `(setq : nil)' was silently accepted, and produced a bogus result was a horror. This error has enabled the developers to fix it. Because XEmacs tries to simulate CL-style keywords. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Mix 2 table spoons sugar with 1 spoon salt.
