Maybe Dave does have something to add, but I can see the bug that this change fixed in 21.3 and why its not needed now (causes a bug now, in fact). If I couldn't, I wouldn't have reverted the change. I have a patch for Help links which I guess will have to wait after the release. I also want to convert descr-text.el from widgets to help links so solve some of its problems, but this isn't a trivial task. Perhaps I should mention this in TODO so there isn't duplication of effort. Nick
