There was some discussion how to accomplish this in a more general way such as adding dobinding/map-keymap to be able to do more of the function in Lisp, rather than in C (modifying the C-level code to use Fmap_keymap as well). Also, there was some discussion on improving the actual prompting, but none of the alleged problems made have been bothering me [after all, those key menus are not used very often]. FWIW, I applied the patch and have been using it since without problems. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
