Oh, I see. That makes sense, now that you say it! Perhaps the documentation for `describe-key' should mention that? It might say something about it displaying that final hyphen while it is waiting for more input, when a complete key command has not yet been entered for it to display help on. > You need to select one of the menu items by clicking on it, then you > will see the help for that item. Right. I understand that now. [Although in this case I wasn't looking for the documentation of one of the menu items, I was looking for the documentation for whatever function pops up the menu itself.]
