        Fix bug extending a search string in place
        in reverse regexp search.

1986-05-02  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@prep)

        * mh-e.el (mh-get-field): Make regexp accept values starting
        with non-letters.

1986-04-30  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@prep)

        * page.el (count-lines-page):
        Fine end of page properly when it's at end of buffer with no newline.

        * term/xterm.el (x-get-default-args):
        Handle `reversevideo' last.  Test switches with "on", not "On",
        since that is what X uses.

1986-04-14  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@prep)

        * compile.el (compile1): Try interrupt-process first
        when getting rid of old compilation process.

        * replace.el (perform-replace):

        Put tab-to-tab-stop on Meta-i.

1985-07-04  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * files.el (hack-local-variables):
        Local variable list must start within last page of file
        and within last 3000 characters; there need not be a page
        boundary in the last 3000 characters, or anywhere near the
        end, however.

        * lisp-mode.el (indent-code-rigidly):
        C-u Tab in C mode: do indent lines starting

        * rmail.el (rmail-show-message):
        Don't print a blank message, in case where no message to print.

        * helper.el (Helper-help-scroller):
        If there is already a *Help* window.  Don't make another.

1985-06-22  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * simple.el (set-variable):
        New function.

1985-06-18  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el:
        Massively rehacked.  Better label support.  Message selection,
        deletion and expunging by dispatch.  Toggle rmail and original

1985-06-18  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * shell.el:
        Create variable explicit-shell-file-name that overrides
        ESHELL and SHELL environment vars.

        * isearch.el (isearch, nonincremental-search):
        Use explicit "%s" when calling message so %'s in message
        are not special.

        * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-file-form):
        Display name of function being compiled in echo area.
        * bytecomp.el (byte-compile-find-vars-1):
        Expand macros in order to find all the vars.

1985-06-17  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * compile.el (compile1.el):
        If *compilation* is current buffer, put point at end.

        * simple.el (indent-for-comment, kill-comment, set-comment-column)
        (indent-new-comment-line): Use comment-start-skip to find comments.
        Don't use find-comment-line any more.

        * lisp-mode.el, c-mode.el, scheme.el, mim-mode.el:
        Define comment-start-skip so it does not match the null string.

        * c-mode.el (electric-c-terminator):
        Don't use find-line-comment--use parse-partial-sexp to
        check for line ending in a comment.

        * startup.el (command-line-1):
        Define +nnn line-number specs.
        Use precomputed help string for speed instead of

1985-06-15  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * simple.el, lisp-mode.el, c-mode.el, scheme.el:
        comment-indent-hook now called with no args, with point
        at beginning of existing comment or at end of line.
        mim-mode's comment-indent-hook seems to need no change.

1985-06-14  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * loaddefs.el (rmail-dont-reply-to-names):
        Misleading documentation said `list' of names.  Its really a
        regular expression.  Make it nil by default.  Also, add defconst
        for `rmail-spool-directory'.

        * mail-utils.el (rmail-dont-reply-to):
        Check for nilness of rmail-dont-reply-to-names and skip strip
        loop if so.

        * loaddefs.el: Elisp -> Emacs-Lisp.

        * echistory.el, chistory.el: Elisp -> Emacs-Lisp.

        * rmail.el:

        minibuffer messages.

1985-06-14  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * lisp-mode.el, startup.el, loadup.el:
        Avoid problem with term "elisp".
        Rename elisp-interaction-FOO to lisp-interaction-FOO,
        rename all other elisp-FOO to emacs-lisp-FOO.

1985-06-14  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el (rmail-mode-1):
        Use %b instead of %17b in mode-line-format to leave more room for
        attributes (some of us like time in the modeline).

        * rmail.el:
        Make rmail-summary-goto-msg barf if the summary is invalid (e.g.
        after `e' or `g') and tell user to make a new one, leaving them in
        the rmail window which is right place to do it.

        * rmail.el:
        Add commands for user to set attributes.  rlk called these
        keywords and duplicated code (the only `attributes' were
        "deleted" and "answered").  I don't think the distinction is worth
        it.  Add command for summarizing by attribute.  Make
        `rmail-new-summary' support it.

        * rmail.el (rmail-show-message): search instead of re-search.

        * rmail.el (rmail-output-to-mail-file): Yechh.  Cleaned it up.

        * rmail.el (rmail-summary-mode):
        Add functions for scrolling current message from summary.  After
        rlk, only make them bullet proof.  Add quit from rmail.

        * rmail.el (rmail-new-summary):
        Reuse old summary buffers when possible.  After rlk, only his way
        of doing it was brain damaged.

        * rmail.el:
        rmail-last-message was off by 1.  Fix it and put it on key `>'.
        (bug noted by rlk).  Make rmail-edit run text-mode-hook.  rlk also
        had it run `rmail-edit-mode-hook' but this is silly because function
        claims to be like text-mode except for two keys.

        * rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text):
        Chomper wasn't deleting ~/.newmail after moving mail from
        /usr/spool/mail/.  Make it do the right thing.  Use new variable
        rmail-spool-directory (default "/usr/spool/mail/") to determine
        if movemail should be called (some people use "/spool/mail/").
        Probably should move defvar to loaddefs when released.

        * simple.el: Flush `blink-matching-paren-ding' and code.

        * add-log.el: Flush `add-log-entry-to-log-in-buffer'.

        * loaddefs.el:
        Changes to reflect partitioning of command history stuff.
        Flush autoload of report-emacs-bug, leave the file emacsbug.el for
        arpanet sites to use if they want.

        * echistory.el: (require 'chistory)

        * chistory.el:
        Move list-command-history and command-history-mode here.  Purpose
        of this file is just to look at the history.  Also contains
        unrelated (to listing) but useful `repeat-matching-complex-command'.

        * simple.el (repeat-complex-command):
        Replaced its definition with `repeat-edit-nth-complex-command' from
        chistory.el, edit form in minibuffer instead of asking for
        confirmation.  Add new function `edit-and-eval-command' which it
        uses.

1985-06-13  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text):
        Expand file name "movemail" in exec-directory for call-process.
        The only reason it worked here before is because exec-directory is
        in most people's shell paths.
        No, this directory is added automatically to the path
        used by call-process.  It should have worked before. - RMS

        * loaddefs.el: C-z -> C-c in documentation for mail.
        autoload report-emacs-bug from emacsbug.el.

        * emacsbug.el: New file.  Reports bugs with version info.

        * helper.el (Helper-describe-bindings):
        Make it describe local bindings faster by binding global map to
        nil so describe-bindings is faked out.

        * lisp-mode.el: First form of prog1 is distinguished.

        * loaddefs.el: Autoload functions from chistory.el and echistory.el.

        * chistory.el:
        New file containing two alternatives to `repeat-complex-command'
        which put the form in the minibuffer instead of asking for
        confirmation.

        * echistory.el:
        Finished it.  Split off two useful but unrelated commands into
        chistory.el.  Made command-history-mode unable to redo expressions
        because there is no sensible way to pick buffer to do it in: now
        its just for looking at the history produced by
        list-command-history or after electric-command-history throws.

        * electric.el: Allow specification of prompt to
        Electric-command-loop.  Interpret nil max-height argument to
        Electric-pop-up-window as license to grab as much of the screen as
        necessary if buffer won't fit; also fix fencepost neglect to
        account for modeline in height computations.

1985-06-12  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el (rmail-insert-inbox-text):
        file-name-directory includes a trailing "/".

1985-06-12  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * shell.el (inferior-lisp-mode):
        Call lisp-mode-hook AFTER shell-mode-hook.

        * rmail.el (rmail-get-attribute-string):
        Did not account for empty attribute string.  Neglected to include
        leading `,' for rmail-display-message-attributes.  Unbound
        variable dot-max-save - I guessed that it was really supposed to
        be dot-min before the widen (the start of the user visible header)
        so I bound it and renamed it dot-min-save.

        * ebuff-menu.el:
        New variable  after-electric-buffer-menu  called after select if
        non-nil.  Bind goal-column to nil while running.

        * add-log.el:
        New function  add-log-entry-to-log-in-buffer.  Use when adding
        multiple entries to the ChangeLog.  Bound to ESC-*.  Made it share
        code with add-change-log-entry (former calls latter).

1985-06-12  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el (rmail-get-attribute-string):
        Rewritten by rlk to be smaller and more general.

1985-06-11  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * ebuff-menu.el: Make M-C-v scroll-other-window instead of
        scroll-down.  Make M-v scroll-down.

        * ebuff-menu.el, echistory.el: Made them use electric.

        * electric.el:
        New module for packages that retain control until some event
        occurs.  Command loop and window maker.

1985-06-10  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * echistory.el:
        Made it use helper.el.  Remove kill-ring-save stuff pending use of
        new winning prin1-to-string for minibuffer hacking.

        * view.el: Made it use helper.el.

        * helper.el:
        New module for packages which want to do help without giving up
        control.

1985-06-10  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * sendmail.el:
        Switch to C-c as prefix instead of C-z.

1985-06-09  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * simple.el:
        Rename kill-ring-save to copy-region-as-kill.
        Old name still works.

        * tags.el (visit-tag-table-buffer):
        Give error unless tag table starts with a formfeed
        as it should.

        * sendmail.el:
        Install C-z w as mail-signature.
        Fix bug of reinserting --text...-- in wrong place
        when a null subject was deleted.

        * macros.el (kbd-macro-query):
        Don't ask for input when macro is being defined.
        When macro is executing, make prompt really appear.
        In loaddefs, put this on C-x q.

1985-06-09  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * dired.el:
        Fix bugs in dired introduced by use of auto-save-file-name-p.  Don't
        call it if it isn't fbound (just look for `#').  Add second arg to
        dired-get-filename which says just return nil (no error) if there
        is no filename on line.  Rename dired-mark-backup-and-temp-files
        to be dired-mark-backup-and-auto-save-files.

1985-06-08  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * ebuff-menu.el (electric-buffer-list):
        Lost if # lines < window-min-height and there was only one window.
        Make it win!

        * echistory.el:
        New file - implements command history interface (electric and
        plain jane listing).  Waiting for opinions before I put it in
        loaddefs.

        * ebuff-menu.el (electric-buffer-list):
        Went to char select after Buffer-menu-execute, which can kill
        lines.  So set mark at select before execute and go to mark before
        select.  Winnage.

        * buff-menu.el:
        Stomp all kinds of roaches.  Buffer-menu-do-kills was doing re-search
        when it wanted to do search (no harm, but faster).  Fix fencepost
        error, when it killed a buffer line, it neglected to move back,
        thereby sitting on potential `K' which was missed. Wrap
        save-excursion around kill-buffer, it seems that kill-buffer changes
        something when it asks about mod file (don't ask me ...).
        Buffer-menu-do-saves was searching for "\n.S", it meant re-search.
        Teach Buffer-menu-unmark how to handle `%' and `*' at same time.

        * files.el (find-file-no-select):
        Don't run dired if value of new variable  find-file-run-dired  is
        nil.  t by default.

1985-06-07  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * options.el (list-options): Use substitute-command-keys.

        * loaddefs.el (view-file, view-buffer, electric-buffer-list):
        Mention view-hook.  Mention electric-buffer-menu-mode-hook.

        * ebuff-menu.el:
        Restrict dot to actual buffer description line.  Document some
        functions.  Make electric-buffer-menu-describe-mode interactive.
        Make C-g shutup when it exits, advertise it as exit char.
        Restrict help so that window configuration lossage is impossible
        (could lose if went into full blown help).  Add function for
        describing help options.  Add `v' command for viewing buffer and
        returning to the Electric Buffer List.

        * loaddefs.el: Autoload edit-picture.

        * picture.el: New "Major" mode for editing pictures and tables.

        * view.el:
        Fix bug with non-file-buffer names.  Use buffer name instead in
        these cases.  New variable view-hook.

1985-06-06  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * view.el:
        (provide 'view)
        defined unadvertised c-m-a, c-m-e, c-m-b, c-m-f
        at end of buffer says how to exit.

1985-06-06  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * view.el:
        Restrict quit to q, C-c, C-z.  Fill keymaps with new function
        view-undefined which dings and tells you how to quit or get help.
        Add eval-expression but don't advertise it.

        * indent.el (edit-tab-stops-note-changes):
        Make *Tab Stops* buffer go away when changes are installed by
        switching to edit-tab-stops-buffer and burying *Tab Stops*.

1985-06-06  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * fill.el:
        New function fill-individual-paragraphs.

        * dired.el:
        Rename dired-mark-temp-files to dired-mark-auto-save-files,
        and make it use auto-save-file-name-p.

        * bytecode.el (byte-recompile-directory):
        Use auto-save-file-name-p.  Provide default definition of same.

        * files.el:
        Define auto-save-file-name-p.

1985-06-04  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * sendmail.el (sendmail-send-it):
        Somewhat gratuitously deleting empty subject lines.
        /usr/lib/sendmail seems smart enough (!) to hack this itself.

1985-06-04  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * info.el (Info-find-node, Info-exit):
        Use expansion of filename in error message on file not found in
        Info-find-node.  Bury the current buffer in Info-exit because you
        can say C-h i if you want to look at it again.

        * simple.el (goal-column):
        Use \\[...] to refer to set-goal-column in variable documentation.

        * simple.el (function-called-at-dot, variable-at-dot):
        Eliminate redundant testing of nil'ness of obj in and clauses.

        * simple.el (describe-variable):
        Bind enable-recursive-minibuffers so can use C-h v.  It would be
        nice if instead could enable JUST C-h v (or C-h f for
        describe-function).

        * aton.el (occur-menu):
        Bogus message in minibuffer claimed C-z expanded menu entry.
        Use substitute-command-keys to get the right key.  Move to the
        first line if rebuild-summary, else the next line.  Make the
        occur menu buffer read-only.

1985-06-03  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * mim-mode.el:
        Fix bugs related to moving across atoms in other packages (i.e.
        with trailers).

1985-06-03  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * c-mode.el (indent-c-exp, calculate-c-indent):
        Fix indentation of line following a #-directive in C-M-Q,

        * isearch.el:
        Don't allow reverse search to match a string straddling the
        initial value of dot.

        * simple.el (read-quoted-char):
        Handle quitting correctly (really quit unless first input char).
        Echo with spaces between chars and dash after
        even if have prompt string.

        * rnews.el (news-get-pruned-list-of-files):
        Sort final list of files numerically.

        * simple.el, time.el, loadst.el (Info-directory):

        * scheme-mode.el (calculate-scheme-indent): Ditto.

        * compile.el (next-error): Missed a \\[...].

        * buff-menu.el:
        Use \\[...].  Disambiguate documentation of q command (read as if
        you marked buffers with > instead of m, now mention mark `>' and
        what command you use to make one).

        * loaddefs.el:
        Put \ in front of \[ where needed.  ' next-error in autoload
        definition.  Fix typo in electric-buffer-list documentation (also fix

        Don't reprint echo area if have buffered ^G to handle.

1985-05-31  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * c-mode.el (c-backward-to-noncomment):
        Still failed to terminate in some cases (after many #include's and
        #defines, comments at beginning of file).  Now stop if looking at #
        and dot <= lim.  It guarantees termination but does it leave dot
        at right place for indenter?

1985-05-31  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * simple.el (help-for-help):
        Lookup in help-map explicitly; calling help-command no longer works.

        * sendmail.el:
        Typo made sendmail-send-it lose when mail-interactive.

        Aborting out of octal read in read-quoted-char restarts
        "from the top."

        * startup.el:
        Catch another place where \\[..] was needed

        Make it interactive since it's on a key.  Also, indent lambda like
        defun.

        * view.el:
        Improve documentation.  Add isearch, previous and next
        line (useful in conjunction with recenter and argument).  Flush
        repeat last command because it really does not repeat all commands.
        Make space quit in help scrolling if no more to scroll.

1985-05-30  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        Define advertised-undo == undo, to force startup msg
        to say C-x u rather than C-_.

1985-05-29  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el:
        Add C-r command (rmail-edit-current-message) and its commands.
        Separated out part of rmail-mode as rmail-mode-1.

        * Rename some files so all .el & .elc file names are <= 14 chars.
        syntax-check-mim.el => mim-syntax.el (change in mim-mode.el too).
        new-version-level.el => grow-vers.el.

1985-05-28  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * simple.el (describe-function):
        Bind enable-recursive-minibuffers to read fn name
        (useful when typing c-h f after m-esc).

        previous window/buffer configuration.

1985-05-27  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * fill.el (fill-region-as-paragraph):
        It was filling to width (1- fill-column)
        except on the last line of a paragraph.
        Also make it not delete excess spaces in paragraph indentation,
        delete fill prefixes before checking for excess spaces.

1985-05-25  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * c-mode.el:
        c-backward-to-noncomment failed to terminate on LF after #include
        at beginning of buffer.  Make it stop if it sees bobp in such cases.

        * isearch.el:
        isearch was doing (push-mark odot) inside save-window-excursion,
        which loses.  Move to outside of save-window-excursion.

1985-05-24  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * loaddefs.el:
        Update documentation strings for dired, byte-recompile-directory.
        Correct some typos and spelling errors.

        * shell.el: Rename lisp to run-lisp.
        * loaddefs.el: Make run-lisp autoloading.

1985-05-23  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * files.el:
        FOO! Local-variables weren't working since hack-local-variables
        was searching for "\n^L" not "\n\^L".

        * lisp-mode.el, loadup.el, startup.el:
        Rename lisp-interaction-mode to elisp-interaction-mode
        Make elisp-mode call elisp-mode-hook, elisp-interaction-mode call
        elisp-interaction-mode-hook.  This will break people's init files!

        * loaddefs.el:
        Make ".lisp" suffixes get lisp mode.  Toto, I don't think we're
        using fourteen-character filenames anymore.
        Autoload scheme-mode.

        * scheme-mode.el:
        Install scheme-mode, courtesy MIT scheme people.

        * lisp-mode.el:
        Make mode doc strings use \[...] substitute-command-keys technology.

1985-05-23  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * lisp-mode.el:

        If tags file has changed since last read in, offer to read it again.

1985-05-22  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * nrnews.el:
        Foo.  A distinct lack of communication here.
        Fairly radical surgery --- many bug fixes and clarifications,
        quite different from rnews.el  Sigh

1985-05-22  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * view.el:
        Add new flavor of help.  ?, h still give list of
        commands.  C-h understands m, c, k options.  Make
        help commands use pop up window with scroll on space.

        * loaddefs.el:
        Minor change for documentation of view-file and
        view-buffer because C-h does not describe mode now.

1985-05-22  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * rnews.el:
        news-go-to-news-group: don't get confusing error if arg is nil.
          Print messages describing change of groups here, not in callers.
          Accept interactive string arg.
        news-next-group: combine with news-move-to-group.
          Change so arg N means go forward N groups.
          Don't print any messages.
        news-previous-group: call news-next-group.
          Don't print any messages.
        news-move-to-message: simplify by using news-previous-group.
          Also, most messages were spurious.
        news-goto-news-group: it had duplicate definitions.
          Flushed both of them; use news-go-to-news-group instead.
        various: standardized ellipses in messages.
          Use error rather than message where appropriate.

1985-05-21  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * mlsupport.el:
        Fix assorted typos where variable "bufname" was changed to "name".

        * view.el:
        Make M-<, M-> work.  Fix documentation strings to work with the
        combination of lisp quoting and substitute-command-keys quoting.

        * electric-buffer-list.el:
        Call Buffer-menu-execute before selecting. (Why doesn't standard
        buffer-menu-mode do this?)  Flush "x", "1" and "2" commands.

        * buff-menu.el:
        Call bury-buffer after selecting new buffer.
        Make things work when  pop-up-windows  is nil.

1985-05-21  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * view.el:
        Flush skip commands since they don't make much sense.  Make searches,
        goto-line's center display at point found with dot at beginning of
        line.  Use mark ring and provide mark manipulation commands.  C-l
        is recenter.  Improve documentation.

1985-05-21  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * loadup.el:
        Copy DOCSTR rather than renaming it.

        * sendmail.el (mail-yank-original):
        If have numeric arg, don't delete header fields and don't indent.

1985-05-20  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el (rmail-get-new-mail):
        Pass the proper arg to delete-file.
        Don't always say "no new mail has arrived".

1985-05-19  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * view.el, dired.el:
        Typos in viewing stuff.

        * simple.el, isearch.el:
        Add prompt argument to read-quoted-char; improve isearch
        input echoing when reading quoted char.

        * sendmail.el, loaddefs.el:
        Add send-mail-function; initially sendmail-send-it
        (also, mail-yank-ignored-headers had a typo).

        * rmail.el (rmail-get-new-mail, convert-to-babyl-format, ...):
        * loaddefs.el:
        Remodularize inbox parsing.  Add support(?) for mmdf inboxes.
        Note that I can't seem to define definitive documentation of
        what this format is; however the code installed seems to work
        for all cases encountered.

1985-05-19  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el (rmail-get-new-mail):
        Pass the proper arg to delete-file.

        * view.el:
        Change to use recursive-edit for its command loop.
        Define < and > commands.

        * files.el (backup-buffer):
        Get error if about to rename a directory.

1985-05-18  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * view.el, more-mode.el: Latter flushed in favor of former.
        view-mode preserves concept of more-mode but uses
        non-standard command loop so that viewed buffer is unchanged
        on exit from mode.

        * dired.el, loaddefs.el: Changed to use view.el.  Change
        documentation of dired-listing-switches to note importance of
        excluding 'F' option.

1985-05-17  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * isearch.el:

        * loaddefs.el: Autoload more-mode, more-file, more-buffer.

        * more-mode.el: New tourist mode for files.

        * dired.el: Put more-file on v-iew in dired.
        Returns to dired when user quits more.

1985-05-16  Richard Mlynarik  (mly@mit-prep)

        * simple.el: Make <help> i run info.

        * Sundry changes to go with changes in src/fileio.c making
        copy-file, rename-file, add-name take an optional third argument.
        The only autoloaded system code this breaks is rmail ---
        a condition-case for wrong-number-of-arguments kludge was installed
        there in two places to make things work until everybody is running
        an emacs which takes the extra arg (marked "** KLUDGE **".) Remember
        to remove the kludge at that time!
        Mods to files.el, loadup.el, rmail.el.

        * Add autoloading function electric-buffer-list.

        * buff-menu.el: Make splitting screen between > 2 buffers work.

1985-05-16  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-prep)

        * dired.el: Put dired-rename-file, dired-copy file-on keys.  Make
        them change buffer if appropriate.  Put dired-mark-backup-files,
        dired-mark-temp-files on keys.  Eliminate possibility of looping
        at last line in dired-repeat-over-filenames.

1985-05-15  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-grape-nehi)

        * dired.el: Fix bug in dired-noselect which caused dired of / to
        get buffer name of /default/directory// with contents of /.

1985-05-13  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * isearch.el: Add crl's slow isearch code, plus changes:
        use variable isearch-slow-speed to control whether to use it.
        Also fix ^W inside reverse isearch with nonempty search string.

        * loadup.el: Flush the "inc" switch.

        * inc-version.el: Kill Emacs at the end.

        * simple.el: Fix overflow problem in what-cursor-position.

        * startup.el: Don't print a help message if noninteractive.

1985-05-13  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-ajax)

        * replace.el: Add ?^ to list of special characters in query
        replace loop so that replacing continues after moving back to
        previous.

        * add-log.el: Add prefix arg to add-change-log-entry so will
        prompt for information if desired.  If there is an entry for today,
        make sure login-name is same before using it, else make new entry.
        Use auto-fill-mode.

1985-05-12  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * lisp-mode.el: Defined lisp-mode-commands, lisp-mode-variables.
        Added external-lisp-mode.
        Made doc strings mention mode hook variables.

        * shell.el: Defined functions `lisp' and `inferior-lisp-mode'.
        Renamed shell-send-defun... to lisp-send-defun...
        and made them use process "lisp", buffer *lisp*.

        * text-mode.el: Made indented-text-mode not call text-mode.
        Made doc strings mention mode hook variables.

        * c-mode.el: Made doc strings mention mode hook variables.

        * add-log.el:
        Change format used for change log entries.
        Select indented-text-mode for the change log file.

1985-05-12  K. Shane Hartman  (shane@mit-ajax)

        * simple.el: Suppress matching close paren if preceded

        * simple.el: Modified open-line to insert newlines before
                an existing one before dot.  This makes better redisplay.
        * dired.el: Installed Shane's changes that allow user to choose
                switches to use.

1985-05-11  Richard M. Stallman  (rms@mit-prep)

        * rmail.el: If given file name as argument,
                correctly displays one message of that file
                but does not try to get new mail.
        * simple.el: Fix what-line bug: line # too high by 1 if not at bol.
                Put in blink-matching-paren-distance,
                and check for wrong kinds of parens matching.
        * time.el: Put in display-time-day-and-date flag,
                to display day and date in addition to the time.
