The customization interface currently looks like this: INS DEL Cons-cell: Regexp: Repeat: INS DEL Lisp expression: nil I think topics could simply be an alternate choice under Regexp; you should be able to say "Topic Regexp," "Topic Exact," "Group Regexp," and "Group Exact." Also, the Lisp Expression should be an alternate, but not the main choice. The user should be able to pick from a predefined list of variables. That would improve usability. Ted
