Hvae you fingers trying to use Emacs with the Control key where IBM moved it to on PCs? Have you tried mapping the Control key back to where it was when Emacs was designed (and where it belongs--just to the left of the A key (on QWERTY keyboards))? If not, be sure to try that. Using Emacs (and Bash) control-character keystrokes is an entirely different experience when the Control key is in the right place. Daniel
