Well put. Perhaps I should have said that I don't feel like the program ought to change to "accommodate" -everybody-. I know that Emacs is still being worked on, is still growing and changing, and also that, because of its extensibility, anyone can change it as they wish. In fact, if the OP wants Emacs to behave the way he describes, I'm sure it's doable. But my statement was that the changes he suggests are things that should not be enforced universally, because not only is there nothing wrong with the things he suggests changing, but the idea of enforcing uniform changes is not entirely in the spirit of Emacs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
