Oh... so that's what you meant by "does not work"?
Please be more precise next time.  I just tried to pop up the menu and
it worked.

Now I tried your recipe and indeed the "Previous line" entry in the
submenu doesn't seem to do anything.  With a recent checkout of the CVS
trunk it works correctly, tho.  So either the problem was fixed between
the March 29 and April 8, or there's something more subtle going on.

No, it *should* work.
But bugs are part of life,
