Elisp Question...

[magicus]

Hi,

I posted this to comp.emacs when this might be a more useful newgroup.

I am new to using elisp and I put together the following due to ignorance
about how to do it in one function:

==================================================================== (fset
'flp-cr
   "Copyright © 2009 Furlan Lawrence Primus. All rights reserved.")

(global-set-key (kbd "<f9>") 'flp-cr)


(fset 'flp-copyright
   [f9 home ?\C-  ?\C-e ?\M-w])

(global-set-key (kbd "<f8>") 'flp-copyright)
====================================================================

The main point here is that I wanted to be able to have it such that when
I press F8 it displays the text AND copys it so that I can then use it
outside of Emacs. The above seems to work and I'd like to make it a lot
more compact. In addition, while it works in version 22.2.1 it stops after
printing "Copyright" in version GNU Emacs 23.1.50.24 (i686-pc-linux- gnu,
GTK+ Version 2.16.1) of 2009-09-27 on magicbox which I compile earlier
from CVS.

The error message post was:

After 0 kbd macro iterations: up-list: Scan error: "Unbalanced
parentheses", 202, 202

TIA for any comments and suggestions.

ciao,
f
