Emacs 22 has `format-mode-line'. In Emacs 21 this functionality is not directly accessible from lisp. (You can look for the library "apply-mode-line-format.el" by Kevin Rodgers though.) -- Johan Bockgård _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
