I have been using Emacs for nearly a decade now, and nobody takes my C-H default away from me (in other words, people have had exposure to applications like emacs on other Unix platforms (and other distributions of Linux), and they should not have to change their expectations of finding help on C-H just because they run Debian) Change thingslike this around, and see another jihad erupt ;-) manoj feeling like an old dog -- What do you call three lawyers up to their necks in quicksand?
