Yes. I strongly agree that Emacs 21 is much better for newbies than Emacs 20. But, Emacs 21.2 is _still_ a little dodgy in places for me. I use 21 every day, but 20.7 is unquestionably more stable. I don't have any particular issues with Debian sticking with Emacs 20 for Woody. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
