Hi David,

I use mouse bindings that generate context-aware popup menus - valid 
elements/attributes at cursor point - with a right-click.

This may not be the most elegant method, but here's what I use:

;; Right-click Popup Menus

(add-hook 
 'sgml-mode-hook                  
 (function 
  (lambda() 

 (define-key sgml-mode-map [mouse-3] 'sgml-tags-menu) 

)))
;; 

Hope that helps,
Mark
