In GNU Emacs 18.55.8 of Tue Jul 31 1990 on ittc (berkeley-unix) Hi, I was just in gnus reading articles and discovered the 'N' key binding while in the *Subject* buffer. I decided to see if there were any other kinds of next article functions lying around. So I tried M-x apropos next.*article Below is what I received in the *Help* buffer. I looked through both .c and .el files trying to uncover the source of the mysterious 32 character limit on function names appearing in apropos doc strings but I couldn't find any. Is it hiding from me, i.e. is this truly a limit. If so why, if not am I just brain-damaged. Contents of *Help* buffer. gnus-Subject-next-article N Function: Select article after current one. gnus-Subject-next-unread-articlen Function: Select unread article after current one. -- +--------------------+ |fbresz@ittc.wec.com | My opinions are my own, I'm not paid |uunet!ittc!fbresz | enough to make an official statement |(412)733-6749 | +-----------------------------------+ |Fax: (412)733-6444 | | THIS SPACE FOR SALE!!! | +--------------------+ +-----------------------------------+
