Me> I mailed the other day about "Strange behavior with MULE and Me> punctuation on 21.0.65,Solaris 2.5.1." It turns out this si a Me> problem in ispell.

Me> The code in question is: (save-window-excursion (save-restriction (narrow-to-region (save-excursion (forward-line -1) (point)) (point)) (ispell-word nil t)))) (command-execute (key-binding (this-command-keys))))) I took another whack at this. With the buffer as described above, narrow-to-region is evaluated with 1 2. ispell-word returns nil. I think at this point the debugger in interfering, because I just get a bunch "d" keys that I was punching in for this-command-keys. I just checked 21.0.63, starting with -vanilla, it has the same problem :( Any ideas? Andy
