Albeit with different names. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the lisp side done before the 19.10 release. I hope to complete it in a couple of weeks. When it is available I will announce it here and on the alt.lucid-emacs groups and it will be available for ftp along with the rest of lemacs. > * pointer query > * pointer warp > * access to defaults database > * reparent screen > * grab pointer There won't be a reparent screen since lemacs uses a widget structure. It is possible to compile lemacs such that it can act as a widget which can then be embedded in other programs. As for the rest, it will probalby be sometime in the farther future, probably the 19.12 or 19.13 time frame. -Chuck
