I am definitely talking about text menus. =) I use emacspeak -nw often (inside screen), and I rely on the keyboard a lot. Besides, how can I use Emacs' funky mouse-friendly menus if I don't have graphical output or an easy to use mouse? =) Right now I'm studying textmenu and tmm, trying to figure out what kind of a menu system I really want. I guess most people don't think tmm is broken (it's actually quite nice), but I wonder if it can be improved. I'll go into hermit mode now and experiment with ways to do so. Thanks for the input, and feel free to send more suggestions! -- Sacha Chua - 4 BS CS Ateneo geekette interests: emacs, gnu/linux, wearables, teaching compsci
