Thank you; that's great. I'm most of the way
there now.
Still, I'm finding the text% documentation
tough sledding; the tools seem lower-level
than I need.
Is there a keybinding file somewhere for
emacs commands? I think changing the
actual keystrokes in that file would be the
easiest way for me to do what I want.
Thanks,
