The following line should be added to the documentation string for monkey-mode. (Place this line just below the documentation for `!'). & execute a background command on the marked files. -tom

Thanks Tom....but.....um.....you forgot to provide us with the most useful functions 'monkey-file' 'monkey-file-other-window'....etc. Kind of hard to use this way. Michael I.

Could somebody confirm a successful receipt of monkey.el please? Thanks. Tom

Oh, yes. I got it here in Cupertino. Works, too - I've been using it instead of dired mode these days, though I'm still trying to decide which I like better, or if I care. One question, while I have you on the line: Is there more to the "Does your minkey have a license" than it's own sweet cuteness? Jack Repenning (uucp: hpda!jack, (408) 447-3380)

Speaking of monkey mode, I have a small bug fix. The function
monkey-background uses the wrong default directory when it calls
background. A fix is to wrap the call to
(monkey-copy-marked-file-names) in a save-excursion.

Clouseau spends his time giving a ticket to an organ grinder with a "minkey" because he does not have a license for the beast. The grinder is actually a decoy for the bank robbery happening fifteen feet away, which Clouseau somehow manages to avoid seeing...

In this nice package, the documentation for DEL and the descriptions of the functions monkey-mark-this-back and monkey-unmark-this-back indicate that the current line is affected and then the movement happens. However both functions actually call monkey-action-and-move with MOVE-FIRST t so that the previous line is really the one affected. (Note that monkey-toggle-this-back toggles and then moves.) The documentation should match the code, but I would vote for changing the code to match the documentation. Also all three functions probably should act the same way? Votes?
