Okay, I read the part on the DEL key: - DEL means press the "Delete" key. DEL is the same as C-?. This sends + * DEL means press the "Delete" key. DEL is the same as C-?. This sends ASCII code 127. Now then: What if my keyboard won't produce a C-? except with the delete key, and trying to redefine DEL as delete-char like so: (global-set-key "DEL" 'delete-char) or even: "\DEL", "\C-?" simply does not work? The only control-(nonalphanumeric) character I can do is control-@ which, by default, of course, is set-mark-command. Personally typing a C-? just produces a ? So am I ignorant or emacs, or is my keyboard at fault? I'm typing on an Amiga 2000 keyboard, and running JR-Comm if that helps. Thanks, Wayne
