Ok. I have tried that now. I didn't know about that possiblity. It is good but 
I am not sure if it is enough.

By the way, it took me a long time before I understood that I should press 
RETURN after the label name when using M-! and M-?. I was nearly abandoning 
TeXmacs because of this.

In TeXmacs 1.0.5.4 the keys M-! and M-? does not work for me. They did earlier 
(in TeXmacs 1.0.5 I think). The menus work.

I have taken a look at the "Structured cursor movement" in section 6 of Help 
-> Manual -> Editing tools in TexMacs version 1.0.5.4. I am still not 
satisfied. I think it would be a very good feature in TeXmacs if a table 
contents of a document could be shown in a separate window. By klicking on 
section titles it would possible to immediately jump to the desired section. 
The window with the table of contents would also make it easier to get an 
overview of the document. In addition to table of contents of section titles, 
the window could also show listings of figures, equations, labels and other 
types of object in the document.  OpenOffice/StarOffice has its "Navigator" 
with these possibilities. LyX has also this possiblity for sections, figures 
and tables.
