Still possible - you usually don't have a word with two apostrophes in it, hence the leading backquote (which could be also an apostrophe) and the trailing apostrophe are dropped. You can do that with `mens'' too. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
