Emacs writers,
	This is not a bug report, but a features request.

1. please highlight (reverse video) changes for replace patterns.

2. please highlight symbols (defined below) or patterns

3. symbols are what microsoft calls "whole word." If a pattern is 
surrounded by an alphanumeric byte then it is not a symbold.
If a pattern is surrounded by a space or punctuation, then it is 
a symbol. For example, if one wants to replace v by v2, then
it would not change vdrift, but would replace v-x by v2-x.

4. please search for symbols as distinguished by patterns on request.

5. please have a column one add to comment out a bunch of lines.

6. please have a column one delete to delete comments of a bunch of lines.

7. please add a "after last character" as a function of line numbers so
one can do "alc!l1!l2! * 5" if one wants to add * 5 to the end of lines
l1 through l2 where ! is control j or similar delimiter.

8. Column deletion or addition would be convenient.

9. replacing your control characters by the wordstar convention also
used by the microsoft editors (QuikBasic and Edit) would be a great
advantage to us microsoft fans.

10. In text mode, word wrap would be valuable so we don't have unlearn
going from emacs to pc editors.

Thanks very much, 

Kent Estabrook
