Since we are speaking of tricks here: I have other keys defined in XEmacs for context-sensitive help on the word under the cursor in Python's htmlhelp file (F2), and the MSDN library (F6). Kind of a hack which needs a small compiled C program, though, since I did not know how to call the needed apis with elisp. But, what I'm still missing is a function that finds and opens a Python module. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
