Incidently, those were the _only_ changes that have been made to ffap.el since it was added to the packages in 1998. On the face of it, it looks like either you are using a version of ffap.el that wasn't shipped by us, or your problem is related to something else. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
