I suggested it use the first number on the current line, even if it is not at the beginning of the line. Because it only searches one line (in a very predictable way), the result is used only as a default, and it happens to fit a very common usage scenario, I think this is an acceptable and useful heuristic. YMMV. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
