But poof, it was gone, as of course emacs then exited, without even enough time to read the rest of the message. Normally one would leisurely view-echo-area-messages, but no, too late for that, emacs was exiting and no trace is left of anything, even if one uses emacs -nw. Got an idea: why not spew any final exit messages straight to the terminal, so they stay on the screen after emacs disappears. For now I'll use ;;else how are we to see final error messages? (add-hook 'kill-emacs-hook '(lambda () (sleep-for 5) ;or (sit-for 5) )) And what if there's two or more messages? Anyway, no I don't enjoy delaying my supposedly busy day for five whole seconds on the slight chance that something inside emacs might have some last words. (Hmmm, kill-emacs-hook is a variable defined in `C source code'. Its value is (w3m-arrived-shutdown (lambda nil (sleep-for 5)) #[nil "\300\301!\207" [server-mode -1] 2]) So it was probably some w3m-arrived-shutdown error messages that went by so fast that they were gone before one could read them. But still, not being able to read any final error messages is a general problem. And one cannot expect every possible message in emacs to come with a sit-for...)
