Anything else I should try?
Hmmmmmm..... Based on the experiments you have tried so far and my
inspection of the code, the only reason I can see for this behavior is
that (sgml-menu-ask event 'element) is returning nil for you. Now *why*
it is returning nil is the question.
Experiment #1: Let's see if the function is miscompiled. Load up a
document, then (require 'psgml-edit). Pull up psgml-edit.el and
evaluate sgml-menu-ask. Does it work now?
Experiment #2: If the previous experiment failed (i.e., the problem
still exists after evalling sgml-menu-ask), insert the following line
just after the first line of code in sgml-menu-ask (that is, the
(sgml-parse-to-here) call) and re-eval the function:
(message "The valid elements are %s" sgml-current-list-of-valid-eltypes)
Does this print out the same list that you saw on the menu?
