Hi! I use emacs on a talking terminal and therefore need to customise it to some extent. At present I have the following problem. When I type a closing brace, or other closing delimiters, I am not able to tell what the matching opening delimiter is. When the matching delimiter is off the screen, I have no problem, as emacs displays a line in the minibuffer showing what the matching delimiter is. Is there some wya I can have emacs do this even when the matching delimiter is on the screen? At present I am using a simple workaround by trying to remember to move the current line to the top of the screen and then typing the closing delimiter. This works but I still have problems when I am trying to match parenthesis appearing on the same line. Thanks for the help. --Raman
