Re: [h-e-w] Transient Mark....

[Raymond Zeitler]

I think it's because of (setq next-line-add-newlines t).  If I set the mark
with C-SPC and C-n down to the end of the buffer, the region remains
highlighted for me.  But I have (setq next-line-add-newlines nil).

I have the same problem you have with end-of-buffer -- if I use the End key
instead of many C-n, the minibuffer reports Mark set, and I lose
highlighting.  Both end-of-buffer and next-line (C-n) are defined in
simple.el.  The docs for end-of-buffer suggest using (goto-char (point-max))
in Lisp programs since end-of-buffer "clobbers" the mark.

The docs for next-line suggest using (forward-line) in a Lisp program.

Try this.  Set the mark and then do C-u 999 M-x forward-line to get to the
end of the buffer.  Does this do what you want?  If so, maybe you can rebind
C-n to forward-line.

Subject: [h-e-w] Transient Mark....

For the life of me, I can't figure it out....

How do I getting the transient mark from deactivating when I mark all the
way down to the end of the buffer....

Ex... half way through my buffer....I set the mark.....I Ctrl-N all the way
down and if hit past the end (I have (setq next-line-add-newlines t) set)
the region is unhighlighted!...

Any thoughts?...OK...no?...how about any ideas?...

Neither do I.  I find that apropos shows up Man-mode after I have loaded
either man or woman, but not otherwise, and without causing any
corruption that I can see.  (WoMan loads man to use a few of its
functions.)

As a general remark, the version of woman.el currently available from my
web server should not be used with Emacs 21, which already contains a
better version (although the only difference is the fit with Emacs 21,
as far as I recall).  With Emacs 21, you can probably discard any
autoload functions relating to WoMan but you probably want to keep any
other WoMan customizations.  Similar remarks apply to other packages
that are now part of Emacs 21 and patches that are no longer required;
in some cases, running such packages or patches may upset Emacs 21.

Subject: [h-e-w] .elc files that don't work

Hey,

Any idea why ntemace can't find some of the .elc files in my
C:\emacs-20.6\lisp\play when I do a M-x 'filename'?  It sees some of the
files in this directory, but not all.
