Well, there _are_ limits -- if someone is familiar with the convention for showing keybindings in menus (as most people are), and has been using the Buffers menu to switch buffers for a long time, and yet has failed to notice a the `Switch to Named Buffer' entry with accompanying keybinding (and it should be rather hard to miss, since if there are only two commands with keybindings shown in the menu), then I'm not sure there's much that can be done for that person. Are there lots of other keybindings show in the xemacs Buffers menu that might obscure that entry? -MIles -- [|nurgle|] ddt- demonic? so quake will have an evil kinda setting? one that will make every christian in the world foamm at the mouth?
