When I invoke the GNU emacs (version 18.50) function what-page its behavior is different if point is at the beginning of the line v.s. being anywhere else on the line. When I say what-page at the beginning of this line (column 0) I get "Page 1, line 11" But if I say what-page anywhere else on the same line I get "Page 1, line 12" The function what-line always reports the same line number no matter where point is on the line. Is this a bug? Or intended functionality? what-page: Print page and line number of point. what-line: Print the current line number (in the buffer) of point. -- ...once you have had EMACS, you'll NEVER go back!! dch@ccird2 - David C.
