emacs -- (Not X) Hexl-mode C-M does not work
My info on emacs tells me after I do a M-x hexl-mode enter C-M-x should be the way to insert a character in hex. Does C-M-x mean Control m (or Control M) followed by an x ?

This is emacs from the cheapbytes four-disk set of debian; the emacs is version 19.34 The M-x is Meta-x or escape-x. In order to access the meta functions you type escape (alt might work too, IIRC) and x. There are a _ton_ of meta functions on emacs. I use M-x compile for my C++ stuff all the time. For a hoot, try M-x font-lock-mode. That will bring up syntax highlighting for whatever mode you might be in, assuming that mode supports syntax highlighting. Although emacs can usually guess what mode it should be in by the extension, sometimes you need to tell it specifically(i.e. .template is not detected as c++). To do this, type M-x whatever-mode. There's a tutorial in emacs that will walk you through many of the major keybindings, btw. I think it will appear automatically if you bring up emacs with no arguments... But I digress. M-x is escape-x. Thank you. -Chris Any suggestions will be appreciated. joeh -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCS/CC/MC d- s+:+ a-- C++ US P L++ E W++ N- o?

As soon as I type C-m I get the same result as if i hit the enter key. Yet the info on hexl mode indicates the command to edit point with a hex value is C-m-x. thanks for your input. joeh Any suggestions will be appreciated. joeh -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.1 GCS/CC/MC d- s+:+ a-- C++ US P L++ E W++ N- o?
