xemacs -vanilla C-x RET c RET Wrong type argument: stringp, iso-2022-8 C-x RET c or universal-coding-system-argument passes buffer-file-coding-system as a default value to read-coding-system. However, read-coding-system only expects string as a default argument. It should recognize symbol. Because of CVS, this patch cantains another patch, http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches/9910/msg00047.html which I've got no reply. 1999-11-16 Yoshiki Hayashi <t90553(a)mail.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp&gt; * minibuf.el (read-coding-system): Accept symbol as a default-coding-system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index: minibuf.el =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/CVSroot/XEmacs/xemacs/lisp/minibuf.el,v retrieving revision 1.14.2.7 diff -u -r1.14.2.7 minibuf.el --- minibuf.el 1999/07/22 06:19:44 1.14.2.7 +++ minibuf.el 1999/11/16 06:44:55 ＠＠ -327,7 +327,7 ＠＠ (defvar current-minibuffer-contents) (defvar current-minibuffer-point) -(defcustom minibuffer-history-minimum-string-length nil +(defcustom minibuffer-history-minimum-string-length 1 "*If this variable is non-nil, a string will not be added to the minibuffer history if its length is less than that value." :type '(choice (const :tag "Any" nil) ＠＠ -2118,7 +2118,9 ＠＠ Prompting with string PROMPT.
