Here's why: Emacs supports arbitrarily long lines. What do you do if the line doesn't even fit on one screen? Emacs already mishandles this case, so fixing ^V in such a way that these lines still don't "do the right thing" might not be so bad. Anyway, the problem is present in later releases of Gosling Emacs as well, so you're not alone.... -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
