In Emacs, `C-h a' and M-x apropos RET differ in "back-end": the latter searches all symbols, not just functions and variables, but the "front-end" is identical: the results are in the buffer `*Apropos*' and they look the same. This is why I bound `C-h o' to `apropos' - I think of it as an "extra junk" apropos. What I observe in XEmacs is a "front-end" difference: one produces `*Apropos*' the other `*Hyper-Apropos*'. Is there any `back-end' difference? [the moment XEmacs switches from ELisp to ANSI CL, I switch from Emacs to XEmacs. :-] #<you may consider this a troll bait, but I mean it :-> -- Sam Steingold (http://www.goems.com/~sds) running RedHat5.1 GNU/Linux Micros**t is not the answer.
