Camp) Organization: Washington University (St. Louis) Lines: 14 We are using elm to support non-technical mail users, and we would like to be able to include in our tutorial documentation a way to cancel modes that are entered accidentally. For instance, if a user presses 'r' to read a message, it would be nice if they could just pressor some other control key to cancel the mode that they find themselves in. I suppose is a bad choice, since it is the first character of many legitimate sequences. Perhaps ^C would be a good choice. -David- -- Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.
