Subject: RE: doc of prompt change with minor mode for read-key-sequence?

        It is the map for a global minor mode, Icicles. It
        functions as a menu-bar
        menu map, and there are also keyboard sequences bound in it.

    To make the menu-bar menu work, you need to give a prompt string aka
    menu name to the map that you put on the prefix key menu-bar.
    But you don't
    need to give a prompt string aka menu name to the overall keymap for
    Icicles.  That never needs to operate as a menu.

    So try removing the arg to make-sparse-keymap when you make the
    overall keymap, and see if everything works right.

Thank you; that took care of it.

I think maybe I used the name in the call to `make-sparse-keymap' because I
figured it wouldn't hurt, and I might use it someday as a pop-up-menu
(somehow). This part of the doc string might have given me that impression:

 "The optional arg string supplies a menu name for the keymap
 in case you use it as a menu with `x-popup-menu'."

I think I figured "in case you use it" meant that it would only be used in
that case, and I didn't know at the time whether I might use it in that way
in some context. Actually, I don't really remember. Anyway, thanks. I know
now that I should reserve supplying the name for when I really want a menu.
