It apparently confuses beginners greatly when they accidentally end up with a recursive minibuffer. For instance, a common scenario is something like: you click the mouse in a buffer while the minibuffer is active, then re-invoke your command thinking the minibuffer input had been aborted [but of course it wasn't, so you end up with recursive minibuffers]. If you have a good mental model of how Emacs works, you'll recognize this situation and deal with it properly, but many people don't. -Miles -- I'd rather be consing. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
