Dropping into a recursive-edit (in a new temporary buffer) can be somewhat confusing for the user, though. (epa does something similar when selecting a public key for encryption, and it's less than perfect from a usability standpoint.) > Couldn't a large part of the code for checkboxes/radio buttons be reused? Probably. It'd be nice if Emacs had a real drop-down in-buffer menu -- that's how other browsers present a select box. Or has Emacs gotten that lately? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
