Another thing in the multiplier area that I'd like is something that took a menu, and cranked out a Texinfo page with the menu structure as items, and the function help strings as corresponding explanation. You should be able to write that in Lisp easily enough. The menu format is thor

Hi, whenever I find myself doing a demonstration of Emacs capabilities and features, I find myself using keyboard commands. That is not helpful to onlookers who just see magic happening. So I have to force myself to use the mouse. Now what would be very handy is something quite similar to some
