Hi everyone, Sorry for misusing this list to pose two lisp questions: 1) Do you have any information on how to join an (x)emacs related news group? 2) in Xemacs version 20.4 In .emacs I am trying to define a function like (defun chcom (interactive "p") (string-rectangle (region-beginning) (region-end) "## ")) but on using it I get the error "wrong type argument commandp, chcom". What is wrong here? 3) I am having difficulties evaluating lisp expressions in Xemacs ver 20.4 On WinNT I am using Xwindows to work on Solaris 5.5.1. ESC-ESC will not open a lisp evauation buffer. Thanks for any help. --Christian Christian W.
