There are several instances of calls to yes-or-no-p which are hard-coded. I request that they consult the function bound to the symbol, rather than call the subroutine directly. The reasoning is that if someone is experienced enough to have the lines ;;;;;;;;;; Caveat emptor! yes-or-no-p -> y-or-n-p ;; ;; I cannot rationally cope with yes-or-no-p anymore. (fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p) in their .emacs, then they don't need the extra protection. Instead, they are forced to dutifully spell out `yes' or `no'. Of course, the answer must be correctly spelled. yea? yew? ye? ys? yes? Ahh, that got it! Regards, [Ag] gaynor@rutgers.edu
