iswitchb-read-buffer: check that iswitchb-exit is not 'usefirst (set when user presses RETURN to select buffer) before running: ;; This happens for example if the buffer was chosen with the mouse. (setq iswitchb-matches (list iswitchb-final-text))) iswitchb-exit-minibuffer: set iswitchb-exit to 'usefirst. These changes were made to fix the following bug reported by Markus Rost and John Wiegley: Evaluate: (progn (iswitchb-mode 1) (get-buffer-create "12") (get-buffer-create "1") (iswitchb-buffer)) You get prompted in the minibuffer. Type "1". The minibuffer shows iswitch 1{12,1} Hit RET. You find yourself in buffer "1" instead of "12", as you would expect from the documentation. This bug was introduced when iswitchb-read-buffer was updated to allow user to select items from the *Completions* buffer with the mouse.

GNU Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <[e-mail]> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures.  For more information see

  http://vms.gnu.org/software/released1/emacs.html#get_emacs_1928_kit


[Update 2003-11-24: I am working on integrating VMS-specific bits
 back into the repository.  There are some work-in-progress files
 in this directory as a result.  Do not be alarmed!  --ttn]
