I know that it is possible to describe a variable with C-h v but is it possible to describe all variables that matches a regular expression? The result should be stored in a buffer. -- Gunnar Bostrom Telia Research AB E-mail: Gunnar.Bostrom@sundsvall.trab.se Box 883 Tel: +46 60 161457 S-851 24 Sundsvall, Sweden Fax: +46 60 122944

I know that apropos (C-h a) works for functions, and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for variables as well. I just haven't tried it. >Gunnar Bostrom >Telia Research AB E-mail: Gunnar.Bostrom@sundsvall.trab.se >Box 883 Tel: +46 60 161457 >S-851 24 Sundsvall, Sweden Fax: +46 60 122944 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ in real life: david fox email: dfox@quack.sac.ca.us 5479 Castle Manor Drive, San Jose, CA 95129 "Thanks for letting me change some USA magnetic patterns on your HD" -me 408-253-7992 "You've just won an absolutely FREE trip to the Isles of Langerhans" -me ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you folks that pointed me to the M-x apropos command. The only drawback about that command is that it doesn't provide the current value of the variable. Any help on that?
