I do (list-character-sets nil), I select e.g. chinese-cns11643-7. OK, I am thru looking at all its boxes. I want to go back. I must go all the way to the bottom of this big buffer to find the "back" link. Even in the menus I find no "back" shortcut. At least another "back" link should be added also to the top of each page, or some mouse key should be assigned and put into the help menu where we would see it and also see how to invoke "back" with just a mousestroke. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
