Information, Please... I am interested in killing the mode-line PERCENT field. I run on a slow terminal and the mode-line update is quite timely. I have tried the "ESC-X print mode-line format" in which Emacs returns "" I would like a simple and effective way of killing the mode-line update. Thanks in advance! Michael Regoli ...!isrnix!mr

From: David Chase <rbbb@rice.ARPA> What you want is the "default-mode-line-format". For instance, (within this mail handling program) the default-mode-line-format is "%[Buffer: %b%* (%m) %M File: %f %p%]" and the mode-line-format (specific to this buffer) is "^X^S to send; ^X? for help". The line (setq default-mode-line-format "%[Buffer: %b%* (%m) %M File: %f %]") will certainly do the trick for you, if you are running Unipress Emacs. drc
