Good question. I never thought of that. Most lines of elisp code are calls to Emacs functions or builtin which have to be loaded. You can't use the elisp code independently of Emacs. You could look at Emacs' elisp files as libraries that happened to be GPL'ed and not LGPL'ed. Raul, why are you so quick to dismiss this? You state it like it was a matter of fact. Is this documented anywhere? Peter
