I found all the details about the elements that can be used to create the mode line... I need something that shows some examples of what they really do... that is, what they look like in practice. Trying to guess what a couple of them mean is not working for me. Some things seem almost inexplicable... that bit in Curly brackets that says '{SomeNumber more}' or `{1798 more}' The ones I can tell right off are the line counter, the percentage figure (43%) Plugged or not What I see looks like this: (Understand, of coures, it is all on one line ... beginning at U:--- and ending with `(Summary Plugged)) U:--- PicOfGnu - newsgroup(abbreved) [46355] {2757 more} 61% (33661,23) (Summary Plugged) "[46355]" "{2757 more}" 43% (33661,23) (Summary Plugged) What do those two in [double quotes added by me ]on line above represent?
