The News Manager) Nntp-Posting-Host: na Organization: Novell, Inc. Date: Wed, 3 Apr 1991 19:35:19 GMT I am a new gnu emacs user, and, even though I like it a lot, I am having problems mapping some keys. How can one remap ESC O P to 'help-for-help ? I tried every possible syntax, and it didn't work. The gnu emacs manual that I have is as helpful in writing the init file as a punch in the nose. I have no problem defining it using M-x [global-set-key] command - that works like a charm... What am I doing wrong? Tony

My suggestion is to edit the ".emacs"-file in the following way. Insert a line - (global-set-key "\M-OP" 'help-for-help) - that's all... The "\M" is for ESC - remember to write the letter "O" capitalized. -> regards Christian (pierre@freja). "it's not a bug - it's a feature..." -- -> mvh. Christian (pierre@freja).
