Re: Synchronizing buffers

Hi,

I tried the following solution but it didn't change anything. I also
tried to transfer the commands in an external script but it was useless
too.

I begin to think that the syntax is correct but this implies that a bug
is present elsewhere.

Thanks though.

Does anyone have another idea ?
