(global-set-key "DEL" 'help-for-help) gives me an error in init file. Try (global-set-key "\177" 'help-for-help) The problem is that "DEL" is not *really* the name of any key (even though Emacs will tell you things like `DEL runs the command delete-backward-char'). To find out more about how to refer to keys in the keymap-setting commands, read the Emacs lisp manual (available from prep.ai.mit.edu {or from me, if you don't have Internet access}). "\177" is an example of one way of representing a key. 177 is the octal code for the delete key. You could just as well use "\C-?" or "^?". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Eric Hanchrow nosun.west.sun.com!yamada-sun!eric | |Phase III Logic, Inc. cse.ogi.edu!yamada-sun!eric | |1600 N.W. 167th Place Beaverton, OR 97006-4800 USA | |Voice: (503)-645-0313 Fax: (503)-645-0207 as of 4-Oct-89| --------------Crackling-noises-OK--do-not-correct!----------------------
