It looks like that variable is obsolete now since Emacs 24.1, and (tooltip-mode -1) is probably the way to get the same thing now.

I use this variable to toggle my Gnu Emacs Org-Mode buffer into an audio desktop:

(setq tooltip-use-echo-area (not tooltip-use-echo-area))

Of course I had to do some programming to do that but the above should get you started

And we can leave that programming as an exercise for the class--right Dr. Kitchin?

Hi,

Is there a way to display in the minibuffer the URL of the link under
the point in the same way as when the mouse pointer is over the link?

Thanks!
