GNU Emacs 18.53.11 on NeXT 1.0.1 If you Redo (using repeat-complex-command) a command that uses strings including newlines, you only see that part of the command after the last newline. I find that I do this quite a bit (with replace-x commands in particular), and the current behavior isn't very helpful. Suggested solution: I suggest that repeat-complex-command (and next-complex-command) bind print-escape-newlines to t when it prin1's the Redo prompt. This allows you to see more of a command that contains newlines, e.g. Redo: (replace-string "\n\n" "\n") instead of Redo: ") Note, by the way, that you can't do this binding at the same time as the elt binding because it would then include the eval in its scope.
