Re: [emacs-wiki-discuss] Mac OS X Services Menu and Remember

[Bruce Durling]

Philip,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm sorry I haven't thanked you earlier,  
but I've been buried with work. I'll give you suggestion a go and  
post back to the list with the results.

I'm using GNU emacs out of cvs rather than Aquamacs, but I think I  
can figure out how this will fit into that.

cheers,
Bruce
