Presumably, therefore, Emacs has some way of recognizing such events. Where is the documentation for that? "Apropos" yields nothing, and info merely admits that they exist. I know how to bind commands to those keys, but only thru chitchat in newsgroups (monkey see, monkey do). What do I do if I am writing Elisp code and want it to do something other than beep when it encounters an f1? -- --- Joe Fineman jcf@TheWorld.com ||: Majority rule is not a way of getting right answers; it is a :|| ||: way of avoiding civil war. :||
