Sirs, I believe I have found a bug with binding forward incremental search to a key other than C-s. The bug is that repeated use of the newly-bound-to key does not repeat the search. The binding is: M-x global-set-key C-] isearch-forward. The test applies to the following line: This is a test test test of re-binding isearch-forward to C-]. and consists of typing C-] test C-] C-] (spaces added for clarity, not typed) with the cursor beginning at the beginning of the line indicated above. This procedure properly finds the first occurance. After the second C-], we are left with "I-search:" followed by nothing, waiting for input, and do not move to the second occurance. The following EMAIL message will contain an appropriate dribble file. We desire to rebind isearch-forward because many graphics terminals trap C-s, and it cannot be used. I am presently using Unipress Emacs, and wish to switch to GNU-Emacs, which I see as the wave of the future, but will not do so unless this bug can be fixed. Thank you very much. Fred Stanke
