If not, try explaining again what it is that you are > looking for. there is something i am really missing ;) i am using emacs version 21.2.95.2 on sun machines. the menu items at the top i see are as follows: File Edit Options Buffers Tools Emacs-Lisp Help None of the above menus seem to lead me to imenu stuff. is it possible that some other package that i am using is clobbering the menu item put-forward by imenu? not sure about the exact elisp code/functions that control the emacs menus. once i know the code/functions that control this feature, i could grep the packages i have and see if they do any funny things with my menus. any pointers are appreciated. thanks, -badari
