Does anyone know how to force a window or screen to repaint DURING the execution of an Elisp function. I have a function where I want to switch-to-buffer (and actually see the newly displayed buffer) while some additional Elisp code executes. The purpose is to be able to read the newly displayed buffer while I'm waiting for the rest of the command(s) to finish. Everything I've tried so far will not repaint the screen until the function has completed execution, and control is returned to the keyboard. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- kinstrey@wsqtba.crd.ge.com | Sattinger's Law: uunet!crdgw1!wsqtba!kinstrey| It works better if you plug it in. ____________________________|________________________________________________
