Bracketed mutilated and skewered  : )

That was a very good tip --  thanks

M-x paren-<spc> on my setup shows [no-match] 
An 's' search from the top of Emacs Info on 'paren-set-mode' shows no
hits either.
I guess you mean 'show-paren-mode'

Yes, that is nice but unless you already knew it needed another set of
parens ( ie if I had a little more lisp savvy) its not much different
than the blinking paren thing that is apparently a default. (on emacs-20.2)
Maybe just named different on your Xemacs

I should have spotted it on the other score files I have but it sailed
right by me.
