Documentation for C-x e incomplete


From: Stefan Reichör
Subject: Documentation for C-x e incomplete
Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 09:21:13 +0100
User-agent: Gnus/5.090016 (Oort Gnus v0.16) Emacs/21.3.50 (windows-nt)

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

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

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

In a former emacs version C-x e was documented like this:

C-x e runs the command call-last-kbd-macro which is an interactive built-in 
function.
It is bound to <menu-bar> <PM> <Execute the Latest Defined Macro>, C-x e.
(call-last-kbd-macro &optional PREFIX)

Call the last keyboard macro that you defined with C-x (.

A prefix argument serves as a repeat count.  Zero means repeat until error.

To make a macro permanent so you can call it even after defining others, use 
M-x name-last-kbd-macro.


In the actual version, the following doc string is present:

C-x e runs the command kmacro-end-and-call-macro
   which is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `kmacro'.
It is bound to C-x e.
(kmacro-end-and-call-macro ARG &optional NO-REPEAT)

Call last keyboard macro, ending it first if currently being defined.
With numeric prefix ARG, repeat macro that many times.


It would be nice, if the last two sentences would be added to the
documentation:
Zero means repeat until error.

To make a macro permanent so you can call it even after defining others, use 
M-x name-last-kbd-macro.


Stefan.
