Hello Ben, All, Options->Encoding->Set Coding System of Buffer File does not show selected coding system after selecting it. Options->Encoding->Set Coding System of Terminal has all menu items greyed out. Options->Encoding->Set Coding System of Keyboard has all menu items greyed out. Options->Encoding->Set Coding System of Process has all menu items greyed out. I have noted now the the current coding system is displayed in the titlebar (might be in the modeline by default, I've customized). Shouldn't the active menu entry have a bullet under Options->Encoding->Set Coding System of Buffer File like Tools->Packages->Add Download Site or Options->Font or Options->Font Size Later, Adrian -- Adrian Aichner mailto:adrian＠xemacs.org http://www.xemacs.org/
