I found your article predominantly destructive and I have no use for your destructivism. your repeated complaints about the limitations of recursion in Emacs does not mesh with someone who reads manuals, which I infer from your hostile ranting that I have insulted you gravely by implying. I _would_ have had a use for suggestions to improve the manual if you found it so lacking, but you don't even give any reason for that. there's nothing I can do to help your situation. I honestly thought you needed to know about those variables since you sounded to frustrated, but you also sound a lot more frustrated than somebody who wants to have a problem solved would do, and so I tried to explain just why they are set so low as to limit your experiments with recursion to the point where you feel the need to post your negative experiences, beliefs, assumptions, whatever, but not nearly enough to read the manual to find better ways experiment with recursion. if you actually have something constructive to suggest for GNU Emacs 19.35, code or manuals, let me know. I'll make sure it makes it into the release if it is sound advice, i.e., quite unlike the above quoted sentence. it's your call, since you have the problems. I couldn't care less what you run into if you don't read the manual, but I do care that users out there might actually believe there are limitations that can't be relaxed. OK? #\Erik -- my other car is a cdr
