Re: wset for frames

[Erich Ruff]

Hi Eduardo,

thank you for your quick answer!

Coex is working flawlessly here.

I didn't know the function of the backquote. I'll delve into elisp
further ...

So I may add a 3rd function to my tlas?

(code-tla-pdf 'coe "/home/er/Coetzee99.pdf")

(defun ceox  (&rest pos-spec-list)
  (interactive)
  (apply 'find-pdf-txt "/home/er/Coetzee99.pdf" pos-spec-list))

(defun Coex (&rest pos-spec-list)
     (interactive)
     (find-wset "F_" "Coex" `(coex ,@pos-spec-list)))

Cheers

Erich
