thanks.  but what are these `bmk-mgr-*' functions?  google doesn't turn up
anything useful on the problem of keeping bookmarks into files and HTTP
links alike in the same file.  is this what `bmk-mgr-*' are for?  then i'd
like to have a pointer to a copy of this jewel  :)

i wonder why you don't do your customization "the simple way", ie.:

8<-- cut-from-here -->8
(add-hook 'w3m-load-hook
	  '(lambda nil
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [up] 'previous-line)
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [down] 'next-line)
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [right] 'forward-char)
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [left] 'backward-char)
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [?p] 'w3m-view-previous-page)
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [backspace] 'w3m-view-previous-page)
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [tab] 'w3m-next-anchor)
	    (define-key w3m-mode-map [\S-tab] 'w3m-previous-anchor)
            ;(define-key w3m-mode-map "S" 'w3m-session-save)
            ;(define-key w3m-mode-map "L" 'w3m-session-load)
           )
)
8<-- cut-upto-here -->8

i've never had any problems with it, although neither the hook nor the
functions are defined at the time of the `add-hook' definition.  it seems
that emacs creates the variable `w3m-load-hook' (beeing a list containing a
lambda) for later use.  i only have the customary ``(autoload 'w3m*)''
functions preceding this.  the keymapping is done right after activating
the first "http://"; type of link.
