I do not know about now, but when I wrote it, this surely was because I stumbled on some [X]Emacs which did not have the function. I'm not enough of an academician for creating solutions and problems all at once... :-). Maybe some older version of [X]Emacs? I sometimes have to run across between many sites in my regular work. By all means, get rid of the portability mantra if it is known to be obsolete. :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
