Since uEmacs 3.7 a fiter-buffer command has been implemented.
This is ^X#, by the way.
In version 3.7 it would take a VIEW mode file and filter it anyway.
Then 3.8, and subsequently 3.9, disabled the command for VIEW mode.
I would like to suggest the command be modified to filter the file
reguardless of mode and only accept the filter results if the VIEW
mode flag is not set.
Thanks for your time.

I don't understand your request. Why would filtering the buffer be usefull if you are only going to throw away the results? If you simply want filter-buffer to override VIEW mode, the following would surfice: 40 store-macro delete-mode view filter-buffer !endm bind-to-key execute-macro-40 ^X# Daniel Lawrence (317) 742-5153 UUCP: {ihnp4!pur-ee!}j.cc.purdue.edu!nwd ARPA: nwd@j.cc.purdue.edu FIDO: 201/2 The Programmer's Room (317) 742-5533

If you have a printing filter; and the filter takes for input the printable data, and outputs the id of the print request. Currently, emacs trashes the file and loads up the silly output from the print spooler. This is not good. THEREFORE... it would be nice to have a VIEW mode that would not load up the changes and yet filter (print) the edited buffer... OK?
