Emacs 22.0.50 on a Linux tty: Do: M-` ; to open a menu buffer o ; activate "options" C-h c ; This prompts with "Describe key (or click menu item): " C This puts the message "C runs the command tmm-shortcut" in the *Messages* buffer. This is wrong: (i) The correct answer is, of course, "C runs the command cua-mode". Saying "tmm-shortcut" is just as true and just as helpful as saying "C-M-a runs the command eval". (ii) The message should appear in the echo area. It doesn't. Instead, there is a short pause (2 seconds) before the echo area reverts to its previous prompt (the one asking for a menu option). -- Alan.
