If that's tht goal (and I'm all for it), the key of a PC keyboard labeled "Alt" pressed in combination with the underlined menu letter must display the menu. > Therefore, my decision is that we will not use Meta-letters as menu > accelerators in Emacs.

I'd appreciate a configuration option saying "use Alt plus underlined letter to activate a menu or a menue entry". Old users can set the option to "M-S". -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
