Woops! I shouldn't post at 1:30 in the morning, it is bad for my
health...
I hit the wrong row in selecting the mailing list. Silly me. Thus,
let me explain that *.el files are for Emacs and Franklin is writing
an Emacs extension. Now that you realize that I've hit the wrong list
you might want to ignore my question. If, on the other hand, you
happen to have Klingon as your first language, I sure wouldn't mind if
you responded anyway! 8-)
Sorry again.
