Read the GNU Emacs on-line manual page (etc/emacs.1), in the section "Using Emacs with X", the subsection "Using the Mouse". It's on page 5 if you read it on your screen. > 2.

Fairly intelligent manipulation of the bitmap, mouse control, fun fonts, iconifiability, helpful menus tied to the mouse (if you have -lXMenu), client/server separation for remote editing...

If you #defined HAVE_X_MENU in your src/config.h, and have -lXMenu accessible, then look at the manual page. They're tied to ctrl-shift-left and ctrl-shift-middle. > 4.

About the only documentation that exists right now, other than in the manual page, is the source itself. It's been developed ahead of its documentation's inclusion in the major emacs.tex paper-manual sources. ------ Bob Sutterfield, Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@ohio-state.{arpa,csnet} or ...!cbosgd!osu-eddie!bob soon: bob@aargh.cis.ohio-state.edu
