But yeah, if you consider emacs a Way of Life, then you're making sense. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." --GvR -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
