================================================================ Dear Bug Team! When using the package 'idlwave' to edit *.pro files, I get the error message "Symbol's function definition is void: line-beginning-position" This occurs when pressing TAB on a line following a line ending with a continutation character, '$'. The following workaround in init.el solves the problem: (unless (fboundp 'line-beginning-position) (defalias 'line-beginning-position 'point-at-bol)) ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux god 2.4.18-14smp #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 12:34:47 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ./configure '--prefix=/home/jaffe/local' XEmacs 21.4.12 "Portable Code" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
