You are right, that did not make much sense. I guess what I meant was that when the user sees a disabled menu item, he does not necessarily understand *why* it is disabled and how to enable it (in this case disable font lock). I suggest documenting this in some place so that he can find out why it is disabled and how to enable it. > Assuming the user notices that we disabled the menu item, your fix > might work.

That message would have helped me. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
