for reasons too long to go into, trying to modify Emacs extensively is not a long-term win. My requests here were trying to make Emacs somewhat better as a speech recognition driven editor to get to my final goal, namely building a bridge between Windows and Linux for speech recognition. The time or take modify Emacs to do what I want would be better spent burning my hands and going directly for the end goal because I believe it would take me less time to get to where I want. what I have to learn by myself is how to make a Windows edit control work from Python, verify speech recognition works with that configuration, then create a mirror window on linux so what ever is placed into one window via speech recognition, cut and paste, or even typing shows up in the other window. Then, I need to layer a grammar on top of that to enable the linux side to do application specific cut and paste. this tool would allow us to use anything for an editor and not just the one we have just tweaked. simple heh. I may just be better off trying to make enough money so I can pay somebody to do that. As I was writing this, it just occurred to me one way to implement the indentation control. it would be something like "moved to beginning of line, leave mark, move to end of line, kill region, insert < action specific number of spaces>. I still think it would be a better solution to determine the indentation of the previous item that should art hold the right indentation and reuse that amount but, I will settle for with brute force, bloody ignorance Yes, that probably will work -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
