(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at the time.) `C-h V' is taken by `describe-variable' these days, and there's also `C-h S' to lookup a symbol in the manuals. I think that adding a new command to lookup variables, too, would probably be overkill, since there's not that much overlap between user variables and other symbols in the manual, usually. So I'm closing this bug report. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
