Paul and Ole, thanks for your help: to clarify the question: in my .emacs the ^Z is ONE character. If I move the cursor in my favourite editor over the ^Z the cursor jumps over both (caret and Z). So in the .emacs file a EOF character is stored (as far as I understand this). I changed my .emacs the way Ole suggested and everything works fine. Paul: The [?^C ?^V ?^Z] sequence came from calling customize-variable jde-key-bindings, changing something (not the thing with ^Z) and "Save for Future Sessions". All keybindings were written to .emacs and not only my changes.
