This isn't a bug, it is a possible improvement which shouldn't be too hard, but would be really nice. I know noone has any time, but maybe you will want to put this at the bottom of your things to do list... Now that there is xemacs, running under x, wouldn't it be kind of easy to run another xwindow, as a bar above the emacs x window, which would be thin and wide, and say things like "File Edit Mode Help" and if you click on one of the words then a little menu pops up... you know, a Macintosh interface, and then it goes off and does the right thing. I dont know what would be best for the menu, but I think that if someone knew their way around X well enough, it would be possible to write the thing very generally, and then have some defaults which people could easily customize... stone
