Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] running a block of code

[Eric L. <el...@ma...>]

Hi,

  Thanks.  I know this feature is something I have had some requests
for.  I like the idea of using paragraph-start, though I do not know
the origins of the current values. Another option might be to use
page-delimiter instead.  What is a paragraph of M code anyway? ;)
