Keywords: MicroEMACS 3.7 has a minor problem. Not a bug, but a problem. The word "beginning" is misspelled as "begining" throughout the source code and documentation. This means that the functions "beginning-of-line" and "beginning-of-file" are improperly named "begining-of-line" and "begining-of-file". This could cause some nasty problems for good spellers (like me) that try to execute these functions as named commands or to bind them to new keys. You can do one of three things: 1) Realize the misspelling and remember it if you are running named commands or rebinding keys 2) Do a global replace of "begining" with "beginning" throughout the source code and documentation. Not only must the assignments of names to functions in efunc.h be changed, but also all the .cmd files (such as menu.cmd, menu1.cmd, azmap.cmd) and the standard emacs.rc file. I found the places that needed changing using grep, and replaced them with Emacs. 3) If you are a bad speller and are prone to spelling these words with one 'n', none of this will affect you anyway. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mike Portuesi | | Carnegie-Mellon University Computer Science Department | | | | ARPA: mjp@spice.cs.cmu.edu (preferred), mp1u@td.cc.cmu.edu | | UUCP: {harvard | seismo | ucbvax | decwrl}!spice.cs.cmu.edu!mjp | | | | "Little things remind me of you...Cheap cologne and that damn song too!" | | --The Flirts, "Jukebox" | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
