How are you supposed to type a "M-ESC" if you don't have a Meta key? If I type ESC-ESC I get an "Eval:" prompt in the minibuffer, and if I do "ESC-x build-mail-aliases" I get a "[No match]" and nothing happens. Type: ESC ESC ( b u i l d - m a i l - a l i a s e s ) RET like the man said. *Yes*, it will prompt "Eval:" in the minibuffer, that's what it's supposed to do, because the "(build-mail-aliases)" is a piece of Emacs-Lisp that you're going to execute.
