> #3 seems kludgy, so it shouldn't be that. I prefer #1. But #1 is in fact wrong. It is irrelevant who the owner of the file is (the same argument as I made concerning file-writable-p).

If you think #2 is right and #1 is wrong, please use #2. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
