If enough people want this I may try to do that. And while we are at it... I still have a 2.4.180 version here with an option named LIST_PACKED which made the columns of completion lists be shrunk to their minimal widths. Interesting to have when you have lists with one one or two very long strings and lots of short strings. In that case you get one or two wide columns and several small ones -- dramatically reducing the number of lines needed. Bye Sven -- Sven Wischnowsky wischnow@informatik.hu-berlin.de
