Same here. Now that I know it's there, it's easy to find, I found a
mention in the info pages as well.
It's also on the menu, under Help|Commands, Variables, Keys|Describe Key.
Perhaps the item should be labeled "Describe Key/Menu Item" instead.
In Emacs, it is
Help/Describe/Describe Key or Mouse Operation
and the menu entry has a tooltip
"Display documentation of a command bound to a key, a click, or a menu-item"
Since Emacs had wagonloads of usability and menu entry fights in the
last few years on its developer list, it might make sense for someone to
do an entry for entry comparison and see whether some of what Emacs
ended up with might be an improvement for XEmacs.
