Only if a reader doesn't understand that it would make no sense to display a message to tell you what that message itself has done. (That might be amusing, however...) And in that case I expect our docs will present much more serious problems for that reader.) But if you really want to be sure such a reader doesn't get confused, then say "those commands" instead of "they". The point is that the messages tell you what the commands _have_ done, not what "the command" has done. > >- Each Emacs frame normally has a @dfn{menu bar}=20 FWIW, I think "normally" is inappropriate here. It's not about normality or abnormality. I suggest something like "by default" (or "usually" or "typically", if that's what you really mean).
