In the latter case, no markers into the ;; buffer are retained, which is important for speed if there are are ;; extremely large numbers of buttons. ;; ;; Using `define-button-type' to define default properties for buttons ;; is not necessary, but it is is encouraged, since doing so makes the ;; resulting code clearer and more efficient. ;; ;;; Code: ;; Globals ;; Use color for the MS-DOS port because it doesn't support underline.
