Can anyone please > tell me how? 99% of the time you should only read input to supply arguments to an interactive command, so start with `C-h f interactive'. When the basic interactive codes aren't enough, note that you can write more complicated things like this: (interactive (list (read-foo "Foo: " ...) (read-bar "Bar: " ...) ...)) See the rather large "Minibuffers" section of the Emacs Lisp manual, paying particular attention to the various read-* functions, most of which are documented in the "High-Level Completion" and "Reading File Names" nodes. -- Kevin Rodgers _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
