(1) The description of Meta-^ states that a newline is replaced by no space if the command is issued at the beginning of a line. In fact, you always get a space if no parentheses are in the neighborhood. Since the behavior is clearly more desirable than what's described in the manual, I consider this a documentation bug, not a program bug. (2) The description in the manual of picture-clear-column states that the command does the same thing as picture-backward-clear-column, except in the forward direction. In fact, it doesn't move the point while the backward command does move the point. The description of the function (as contrasted with the one in the manual) is correct. Paul Abrahams
