'nil' and 't' are symbols in emacs lisp, and as such they have a function cell in addition to their value cell. I have often thought about defining functions to use them, too (defun nil (a) (interactive) (setq a nil)) (defun t (a) (interactive) (setq a nil)) since it would be faster to do M-x nil var-name than M-x set-variable var-name nil or ESC ESC (setq var-name nil). It's a gross violation of the abstraction barrier, but it ought to work.. :-) Barr3y
