Has anyone successfully compiled and used c++-mode.el in Demacs?  The
Lisp reader flags an error sometime when a `.' occurs in a description!

Also, when byte-compiling a file, what part does bytecomp.el(c) do and
what is done internally?

You probably accidentally set your goal column to 1 (C-x C-n in column 1).
Try C-u C-x C-n to unset the goal column.

In an earlier posting, I mentioned that control-@ was not working in
my copy of demacs on an 80386 MSDOS machine. The combination of control-@
and control-w is used to put a portion of text into the yank buffer. 

Respondents were unanimous in suggesting that if not control-@ then certainly
control-SPC would work. It doesn't.

What I would like to know is how I can bind control-@ to the function it is
supposed to be bound to.

   What other reasons?  I guess I can buy that maybe there's no easy way to
   do it for all functions (maybe; I'm not familiar enough with the
   internals of Emacs to know for sure), but what's so wrong with it?

It is hard for you to guarentee that some program you use won't depend
on the functionality you change.  This can lead to subtle bugs.

I don't regularly read this group so this may be a FAQ.  

Has anyone considered changing the speller (M-x spell-*) so that it
would check the spelling of your replacement before changing the
buffer.  Maybe it could give a polite message like "can't find your
replacement word either. replace anyway(y/n)".  Currently I have to
run the spell checker repetitively.  IMO, this change would make it
more user friendly, at least to those of us who can't spell to save
their lives.

This soulution defines keyboard macro to kill the buffer and repeats it
until all the buffers are deleted:

M-x save-some-buffers

C-x ( C-x k RET ESC 0 C-x )

There is one problem with this solution.  When it gets to the last
buffer it gets stuck in an infinite loop.  C-g will get you out
of the loop.

I'm trying to convince emacs to do something with my F11 and F12 keys on my

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Distribution: gnu

I'm using Demacs (DOS Emacs) and am having a problem getting one key
bound:  C-pgup.  I got a routine from this newsgroup that rotates thru
the buffers.  It has two functions, swap-to-next-buffer and
swap-to-prev-buffer, that I want to bind to C-pgdn and C-pgup
respectively.

C-pgdn generates the key code `C-@ "v"' that I put in my IBMPC.EL file
as

        (define-key ibmpc-map "v" 'swap-to-next-buffer)

which works perfectly.  C-pgup generates `C-@ "ESC"' which I put in as:

        (define-key ibmpc-map "ESC" 'swap-to-next-buffer)

When I byte compiled IBMPC.EL, I got no errors but I also got no C-pgup.
Emacs reported it as unbound.   In place of "ESC" I then tried both
"\C-@\e" and even "\C-@\033" (ESC = decimal 27, octal 033).  Still no
C-pgup.

I would appreciate any help with this problem.

Ummm... no. There are times where I'm at a workstation for several hours. I
never kill my emacs session through that time, so having an easy way to
kill all buffers is usefull when I want to kill a bunch of buffers and go
onto something else, without killing my emacs job.

I have got the same problem, but if I type \C-SPC twice, it works.

Hope this helps,

	I remember discussions on the net a while ago about printing
texinfo using PostScript fonts. I forgot what the outcome was. Did somebody
hack texinfo.tex? I'd like to get a copy. Otherwise, I'll try to hack it
myself.

I regularly do a "list-buffers" (C-x C-b) and then type "D" or "d"
next to the buffer name I want to get rid of.  Then I type "x" to
eXecute the deletes.  Out of the box, you do get prompted for
changed-but-unsaved buffers attached to files.

Hi,

I often find myself at the end of some editting session doing
C-x k, C-x k, C-x k, C-x k,... until I just have *scratch* left.
Is there a command to do this or a short elisp script? I'm just
beginning to begin to learn lisp so an example of such would be 
nice to see. 

Thanks,   Jim
