RE: question

Thanks,

I wish to become specialist in Emacs LISP.

I am looking forward to start with something.

I want to implicate myself as soon as possible, not only because I like Emacs and lisp and want to become
specialist in these ones, but, in plus, because I wish to dedicate some fine work to an old friend girl of
mine depuis les banlieues de Rouen, France, too.

Could you send me a problem (bug or another problem kind), please? Or something to start from...

I am beginner, but I wish very much to implicate in emacs, so you can send me not necessary an easy problem...
to think to and solve it.

Thanks,

A Soare

PS: I will to dedicate my time when I do not study a great course of french civilisation, and when I do not work
on some courses of informatics from Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy of Sciences (IMAR)
or to my job.

The file admin/FOR-RELEASE in the Emacs CVS tree contains tasks to be
solved right now.  You might want to take a look at them.

too many spaces indented in *Occur* buffer

Gentlemen, there's just too many spaces reserved at the begging of
each line in *Occur* buffers:

40 matches for "q" in buffer: apt-offline.log
     79:Package python-pygresql has broken dep
     80:  Considering python2.3-pygresql 1 as
    115:Package php4-mysql has broken dep on...

We see you have reserved
1234567:
spaces, indicating you normally browse million line files.

OK, no need to dynamically figure out how many spaces. Just reserve 3.
Looks ugly at the 999 1000, 9999 10000 etc. boundary, but let the user
configure it with a variable too.

Wait, M-x grep doesn't cause spaces at all and never looked bad. OK,
make that default 0.

win32 emacs icon

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-windows98.3000)
  of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO
configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.2)'
Important settings:
   value of $LC_ALL: nil
   value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
   value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
   value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
   value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
   value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
   value of $LC_TIME: nil
   value of $LANG: enu
   locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1
   default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I've ~just~ now installed emacs v21.3.1 for Windows, from here:
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz
and I thought I'd let you know about one minor and easily reparable bug: 
the default icon from that installation is, well, cruddy. Something to 
do with transparency being applied to the wrong color. Instead of a gnu, 
it looks like a giant oyster mushroom or something.

Here's a zoomed cropped screenshot of the icon:
   http://interglacial.com/temp/windows-emacs-icon.png

Obviously I can just change the icon to whatever I like, but I figure 
you'd want to know about this spot of brokenness.

Thank you for your report.

The next release will have an entirely different Emacs icon, let's
hope you will like it better.

I tried this with today's CVS in the MS-Windows port writing to a
floppy, and I cannot reproduce the problem: I get "No space left on
device", as expected.

Looks like that bug as been fixed already.  Thanks for testing it.

morse.el extension

I added the functions morse-encode-string and
morse-decode-string, changed the names of the functions
morse-region and unmorse-region to morse-encode-region and
morse-decode-region in order to get more coherence with
other packages (e.g. the base64 package).

I extended the documentation too.

Best regards.

Small mistake in emacs TUTORIAL

I've downloaded emacs 21-3, Windows version, and saw a minor mistake in
the TUTORIAL (I'm re-aquainting myself with an old friend 

"If you are using a windowed display, such as X11 or MS-Windows, there
should be a tall rectangular area called a scroll bar at the left hand
<=======================
side of the Emacs window.  You can scroll the text by clicking the
mouse in the scroll bar."

I believe on most systems, the scroll bar is on the RIGHT, not the LEFT.

Best regards,
