Re: An isearch command that wraps?

[Lloyd Zusman <ljz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

P.S. -- I just want to add that the list archives at
        www.ruptured-duck.com are inaccessible because that host (or at
        least the web server there) seems to be down.  Otherwise,
        I might have been able to find an answer to my question there
        instead of posting it here.
