Re: undo in loaddefs.el buffer

    This way of popping down the dialog has been replaced by popping down by 
    pressing ESC, which is more in line with what other applications and 
    toolkits use.

I think it would be an improvement if most characters did not exit the
dialog, only ESC and C-g.  Can you implement this in general?

Perhaps ESC should cause a quit rather than returning nil.  Of course,
C-g definitely ought to quit.

Should ESC exit a menu too?  It seems to me that would
be a coherent interface.  Is that easy to do?

    Any key pressed when the focus is on the Emacs frame and not the dialog 
    pops down the Lucid and Lesstif/Motif dialog, to be compatible with 
    21.3.

I don't think we need to be backwards-compatible in that regard.  If
only-ESC-exits is a better policy, let's switch to that in all cases
if we can.
