I must admit that I didn't even know you could display images in info files, and have never seen one that does, but leaving everything blank on a text-only terminal is clearly confusing. Is it possible to do the something similar for the toolbar? For example, instead of the usual GUD toolbar, to have on a text-only terminal: [print][print*][go][next][step][finish][up][down][info] where each item is clickable with the mouse using t-mouse.el. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
