I want to add a command to dired. I know how to write the lisp code. I even know how to add it to the comtab if I redefine (DEFMAJOR COM-DIRED-MODE ... where the comtab is. What I want to know is, is there some way to do a command-store to the mode comtab? How do I reference the mode comtab if I am not currently in that mode? Thanks. strip drstrip@cs.sandia.gov
