PATCH 21.5 This looks like an incomplete sync with Emacs. Copy some text into a register.

That's okay, because we don't have a function named remove-list-of-text-properties either. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2006-03-15 Jerry James <james(a)xemacs.org&gt; * register.el (describe-register-1): Use set-text-properties instead of the nonexistent remove-list-of-text-properties. xemacs-21.5 source patch: Diff command: cvs -q diff -uN Files affected: lisp/register.el Index: lisp/register.el =================================================================== RCS file: /pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/xemacs/lisp/register.el,v retrieving revision 1.9 diff -d -u -r1.9 register.el --- lisp/register.el 2005/03/28 12:14:02 1.9 +++ lisp/register.el 2006/03/15 21:51:49 ＠＠ -231,8 +231,7 ＠＠ (princ (car val)))) ((stringp val) - (remove-list-of-text-properties 0 (length val) - yank-excluded-properties val) + (set-text-properties 0 (length val) nil val) (if verbose (progn (princ "the text:\n") -- Jerry James, Assistant Professor james(a)xemacs.org Computer Science Department http://www.cs.usu.edu/~jerry/ Utah State University
