In GNU Emacs 19.30.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.4, X toolkit) of Sat Sep 21 1996 on downy
configured using `configure --prefix=/usr/athena --with-x-toolkit --sharedstatedir=/var/tmp --with-pop --with-hesiod --with-kerberos --x-includes= --x-libraries='
This bug seems to be everywhere in emacs and XEmacs. The problem has to
do with the function `call-interactively'. the problem has to do with
keyboard macros.
If I define a kbd macro, and then name it `say-hi', and I make the kbd
macro map to the letters "HI", then that macro is a command.
(defalias 'say-hi
(read-kbd-macro "HI"))
should end up being interactive. In fact, the expression:
(commandp 'say-hi)
evals to TRUE. This is correct. The error is when I do this:
(call-interactively 'say-hi)
I get :
wrong type of argument: commandp, say-hi
This is totally messed up. Can this be fixed? The is screwing up my
strokes program b/c I wanted people to be able to map strokes to kbd
macros, but how can they if I can't call them interactively? Do you
mind fixing this?
