I think that Emacs does almost the right thing with f1. The question is whether it could do a better job. What about opening Help menu? Do you think it could be better for users who are used to get help by f1? To tell the truth, I do not know. I've never used f1 to get help from Emacs. --=20 Pavel Jan=EDk Terminate input by end-of-file or marker, not by count. -- The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plaugh= er)
