View-search-regexp-forward

[Adam Hardy]

Hi,

just out of curiosity, why does View-search-regexp-forward only work in 
view mode? When I'm searching a file, I have to toggle view mode on 
before I can use it, and then toggle view mode off again to resume editing.

Another minor question while I'm at it: in the bottom left corner of 
emacs, just between the left hand edge and the file name, it says --(DOS) %%

This implies to me some sort of MS-DOS encoding in the file header. Is 
that right? Or is it because it's got a .jsp extension in the old 8.3 
filename format?


Thanks
Adam
