Thinking further, the buffer local variables like truncate-lines should be toggled from the mode-line, just as earlier I removed the global minor modes (line-/column-number-mode) from the mode-line, leaving them just on the menu bar (the converse). Maybe the user wants to set case-fold-search for the session and the menu bar is the right place for that, but he is likely to be confused (as I was) if it is masked by a local value as in Info. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
