[slime-devel] M-. (Meta-dot) Question

Hi Slimers, I've recently started using the M-. and find it very useful for jumping from a function call to the function definition in the same file. However, when the function is a generic function, a small window opens at the bottom to give me a choice of methods to jump to. So far so good. I hit RET and the definition pops up in my editor buffer. But then when I hit Q, I'm right back to where I was before. I would like to be able to navigate to the method, not just see it. What's the magic key? Thanks. BTW, I'm using Carbon Emacs built around March 20 from CVS, OS X 10.3.9 and slime is 2005-05-20 or thereabouts (C-c C-t in the REPL seems to loose the date stamp).
