I suspect most overlays already have an explicit evaporate property set but I dont know. Richards suggestion would at least tell us that. I thought I would quickly try it out, but all the overlay defuns are in C code and it would require a fair bit of effort on my part to become familiar with the C mechanisms (how to set, get properties, invoke other defuns, etc.), and I dont have that much time. The little I have read about defadvice suggests it might do for some preliminary tests. Can someone advise me if thats the case? -- Peter Whaite (http://whaite.ca) _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
