Very nice idea!  But note that message takes format directives, so you
don't need to call format:

	(error (message "Error in init file: %s" error))

Just type <TAB> to complete the filename (instead of <SPACE>).

Instead of making a special case for .emacs.el, you can auto-recompile
all of your emacs-lisp files, e.g.:

(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map "\C-X\C-S" 'save-compile-buffer)
(defun save-compile-buffer (&optional prefix)
  "Save current buffer, byte-compile the file if a compiled version exists.
A single prefix prevents compiling, a double prefix forces compiling."
  (interactive "p")
  (save-buffer)
  (if (or (equal prefix 16)
	  (and (not (equal prefix 4))
	       (file-exists-p (concat (buffer-file-name) "c"))))
      (progn
	(sit-for 0) ; redisplays status line

An attempt was made at conversion but emacs did some strange things

Gee jonathan, I've experienced the same problem and I can't help you.
I'm replying to your message so you won't think the messages that
you post to this news group are invisible ... :^)
 
--Jonathan

The first problem you mentioned looks like a bug but the second is a 
problem in your definition.  The rules for classes in the .Xdefaults
dictates that if the first character begins with an X the second letter
must be capitalized also, ie XEmacs, but in this case the class isn't
xemacs but rather Emacs.

Here are the emacs entries from my .Xdefaults file.

Emacs*font:     9x15
emacs*Background:       LightBlue
emacs*Foreground:       black
Emacs*bitmapIcon:       on
Emacs*Cursor:   red
Emacs*Geometry: 80x48-10-30
emacs*Mouse:    green
emacs*iconName: tec

Note that you can freely mix class entries and command name entries.
The class entries apply to all things emacs while the command (lower
case) entries only apply to the command called emacs.  If emacs is renamed
they wouldn't be found.  These work on my sun.

The reason global-set-key doesn't work is that your DEL key (\C-?) is
overridden locally by each of the modes.  If you want to change it,
you have to do it with mode hooks.  For example:

(defun reset-del ()
  (local-set-key "\C-?" 'delete-char))

(setq text-mode-hook 'reset-del)

To fix this, here's what must be done:

1. Find the right termcap for that terminal.
This is *not* a matter of trial and error.
Follow the definitions in the GNU termcap manual.
Just obey them.

2. We know Emacs still won't work.
Debug what it does.  Why doesn't it work?
Where does Emacs make a wrong decision?

3. Write a clean fix that makes Emacs do the right thing.
Not just the right end result, but with code that is clearly right
for reasons one canconvince oneself of.

4. Then install the change.

I would do this if I had time, but this problem isn't high priority,
so I'm going to leave steps 1-3 to others.  If you write a fix, please
send it to me.

I have an interactive program that I'd like to use under emacs.  The
program takes input; it it prompts for input with a > on a line by
itself.  The program outputs sentences and paragraphs of text.  It's
currently doing its own line wrapping but I'd prefer that emacs do the
formatting of these sentences and paragraphs.  So I think what I want
is sort of a shell mode that takes all lines that aren't a single >

program as the Unix Infocom interpreter which allows you to play

Summary: Want to ask "Could this match if it were longer?".
Keywords: regexp, filter
Organization: University of Tasmania, Australia.
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1993 08:36:01 GMT

I'm writing a filter for an emacs process which looks for commands in
the output stream.  The commands are removed and executed.  Anything
that is not a command just gets inserted into the buffer.

I'm using an accumulator-style filter where the filter just appends
the new output to an accumulator, and calls a function to process the
current accumulator.

I'd like to use a regexp like "cmd1\\|cmd2\\cmd3" to recognize
commands in the accumulator.  I'd like to be able to find the first
full or _partial_ match in the accumulator.  By partial match I mean a
match that fails only because we got to the end of the accumulator.
If the match was only partial, just insert the junk before the partial
match, and then wait for the next invocation of the filter.

I think I could do this with the GNU regexp package, but I don't seem
to have as much flexibility with the elisp regexp stuff.

Can somebody tell me how to check for a _partial_ match to a regexp?

Or can you suggest a better approach?

For the moment, I'll just pretend that a command will never be split
across two different filter invocations, but I don't like this much.

How *big* is your emacs when it gives you this problem?

Emacs may be giving you this error because it cannot allocate
*usable* memory.

Usable memory is memory whose address will fit in the pointer portion
of a lisp object.

The default emacs configuration provides for 24 bits for this pointer
portion, I believe, limiting you to 16M of lisp-usable memory.

It is possible to change this parameter (the instructions are in the
FAQ) allowing you up to 26 bits for this pointer portion, allowing you
64M of lisp-usable memory.

Unfortunately, this requires a recompile, which you say you cannot do.

I'd like to see a keyboard with foot petals for the control and meta

   Try increasing your data segment and stack resource limits with the
   csh command "unlimit" before you run emacs.

that's a great idea!  unfortunately i tried it and it didn't work
(unless zsh is lying).

From the documentation of auto-save-mode:

	auto-save-mode:
	Toggle auto-saving of contents of current buffer.
	With arg, turn auto-saving on if arg is positive, else off.

Now, the question is, does Emacs consider 0 to be a positive number
or not. I think it does. I would -1 instead of 0 if I were you.
