Alas, there's no practical way of discovering which is which. If you intended to go over all of the commands provided by Emacs, then that's impractical, as there are too many of them, even if you restrict yourself to the default configuration. IOW, the way you intend to take is much longer and less efficient than what was suggested to you. I agree OP's way is impractical and inefficient, but that doesn't mean it is impossible or undesirable. It's no problem for people to scope out the joint before joining the party; the door is always open and the Software is (as always, thank GNU very much) Free. Too, some sidewalk spectacle is its own reward, and keeps the puke out of the punchbowl... =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 (if you're human and you know it) read my lisp: (responsep (questions 'technical) (not (via 'mailing-list))) =3D> nil --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlNTo/oACgkQZwMiJEyAdQJtaQCgu7vqvpwLw2rqJkxiCiBczbDu zssAn1slQvPfY0b0R1FKJ3l9QXDtqJvg =Omgn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
