Yes. Should I resend it? I see you've answered most of my questions.

Hmmm. Then perhaps I should not list them in the refcard either. Actually I
think that if they're deprecated, they should go. Does anyone object?

"If `zmacs-regions' is true, this is equivalent to `region-exists-p'.
Otherwise, this function always returns false."
Great, then I'll mention it in the refcard.

So I guess I shouldn't list it either.

Perhaps only `b' here "merits publication".

Fix the manual then.

Did I mention I find the GL bindings overly peculiar?

Hmmm. What do others think?

Ok.

I'll list C-o, | and C-c C-f. I like them.

I suspected that much :-) Amend the message manual to mention that the default
implementation of the wide reply function does that.

I'll list all these. Basically, I'll list the bindings that are not clearly
"subsumed" by other bindings: nobody would use M # if they have #.

Ok. What exactly does X o do, simply assemble the series?
Thanks for the response!
