to find out about what commands are available try apropos. You have a few variants - M-x apropos M-x apropos-command M-x apropos-variable C-h a apropos (simple) The help facility has a lot of useful information. For example, to ind out what you can do with C-x o command, try C-h k, which calls the describe-key command e.g. ,----[ C-h k C-x o ] | C-x o runs the command other-window | (other-window ARG &optional ALL-FRAMES) | which is an interactive built-in function. | | Select the ARG'th different window on this frame. | All windows on current frame are arranged in a cyclic order. | This command selects the window ARG steps away in that order. | A negative ARG moves in the opposite order. If the optional second | argument ALL_FRAMES is non-nil, cycle through all frames. `---- -- Tim Cross The e-mail address on this message is FALSE (obviously!).
