Or we could use multi-character sequences starting with Ctrl-C or Ctrl-x or Meta or ... arrrrrrggghhh Emacs!!! ;-) Or we could use Asian keyboards with many hundreds of pictogram keys. > >>>>Also I noticed that the manual doesn't describe symbol autocompletion >>>>operation and the keycodes for accept and dismiss.

Attached, a first go at it anyway. We both may live to regret this offer but here goes anyway... One of my previous jobs was a very picky technical reviewer and I am willing to give the manual a "wash and brush up". The upside of this is that I will make all the small fixes, the downside is that I will suggest any major items to you, although of course you can always ignore the suggestions :-) Are you game?
