Menus are good for learning the functionality, and you have them just as much in Gnu emacs as in xemacs. You can even use them absent a windowing system! Text selection with a mouse is a different thing. Sometimes it's more convenient, sometimes it's not. But I agree with your general point - it's often quicker to keep your hands in position, which is where knowing keybinds for everything scores. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
