Re: how to turn on showing end of file?

[jidanni]

OK, here is how I was vicitmized.

I used to use
(setq default-indicate-empty-lines t)

A few days ago I got the message
Compiling file /home/jidanni/.emacs ...
.emacs:436:7:Warning: `default-indicate-empty-lines' is an obsolete variable
    (as of Emacs 23.2); use `indicate-empty-lines' instead.

(I wonder how what people who don't compile their .emacs file will get
that news.)

So I changed it to
(setq indicate-empty-lines t)

Then after a few days I started wondering where the indicators went.

So one needs to change it to
(setq-default indicate-empty-lines t)
surprize surprize :-(
