Does anyone have the equivalent of a NEXT-ERROR function for FREEMACS (a gnuemacs work-alike for IBM compatibles) or even microemacs 3.xx? I would settle for the next-error function without the compile function, since I can invoke the editor on the program text and error listing files from my compiler. For those not familiar with gnuemacs "compile.el", the next-error extended command brings up a compiler error listing in one window with the first error at the top of the window. In the other window, it brings up the offending source code file and positions the cursor on the line containing the error. Subsequent invocations step through the errors, moving to the appropriate source file and line. My local hack even puts the cursor on the first character of the of the erroneous symbol in the source file (when the compiler includes character number and line number in the error list. My ada compiler does, my C-compiler doesn't ;-) The compile function spawns an asynchronous compilation with output directed to the error buffer. (too much to ask for in a single threaded PeeCee) BTW, freemacs is the best gnu work-alike I've found for the PC. I use MG2a at home on my amiga and I have uemacs 3.10, but freemacs is better. If it only had infinite undo's... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M.

Um, did you try C-x ` ? It might only work if you ran 'make' using M-x make
(or did I call it M-x compile in the current released version?). My
policy concerning GNU Emacs compatability is to fix anything that I am
capable that people complain about. So, I'll look at fixing it in
1.6...

Thanks for the kudo.
