Re: [h-e-w] interactive "r" argument passing

[T400]

Thanks, Francis. I tried escaped backslashes and slashes. After this 
didn't work either:


(defun save-sscratch (start end) ;; M-x sch
"Append region in *scratch* to file scratch.txt."
(interactive "r")
(with-current-buffer "*scratch*"
   (write-region start end "c:/mydocu~1/scratch.txt" t)))


I noticed that the in the alias def for sch the 'save-sscratch' function 
name was spelled wrong.
