joe is by far my favourite editor, as I have said publicly several times. I did not mean to be insulting. I did not mean that 5~ is random in the mathematical sense; rather in the hacker's dictionary sense of "an unintended result". I apologise for the use of the word "rubbish"; I should have used a neutral term like "string". So in other words "random rubbish" is just "an unintended string" ;-). I still think "Special key" combinations, like function keys, should either do something functional (hopefully well-documented), or they should do nothing. Of course users should pay attention when typing. But sometimes they make mistakes. Everyone does. The software should not surprise the user unduly. Inserting this 5~ stuff in texts is a surprise, therefore a bug, and it should be fixed somehow. Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
