I have no idea. The other code works and was linked on the wiki. Maybe your
code could replace it?

Well, the mouse usage being mandatory was the default and is not
really "emacs" thinking IMO : hence the wiki had the fix/workaround.
FWIW, I would hazard a guess that most emacs users tend not to be mouse
wielders in the main .. too many of our hands are already required :-;
Thanks for the reply and I will try code above : it certainly looks to
be short and sweet. If it does the job I'll add it to the wiki if thats
ok.
