Actually I think the name "Hide/Show" was chosen precisely because it is used in other GUI applications, usually as a submenu of a top-level "View" menu. The top-level "View" menu in other apps tends to be much more general, with "Hide/Show" as a submenu for enabling various toolbars, status lines, etc. [Stuff like this tends to change periodically as the winds of GUI fashion blow of course; the above was true at the time the menu was initially added.] -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
