Funnily, of a few Fn bindings present in (my) Emacs, F1 and F10 are
among those I *never* use...  Help is C-h for me, and I haven't used the
menu for more than decade.  And I explained the rationale behind my idea
of binding F3 in an earlier post.

BTW, how do you guys use keyboard macros?  "C-x (", "C-x )" and "C-x e"
are so inconvenient compared to F3 and F4...

(OK, this Emanuel doesn't have to answer this last question - he doesn't
use kbd macros, and doesn't even know what he misses;-);-);-).)
