- Greetings:
-
- I recently installed emacs on my 710 (from the HP LaserPro demo
- CDROM). I am having a problem with a particular key combination:
- M-w (ExtendChar-w). This key combination is supposed to copy the
- current region into the paste buffer (copy-region-as-kill). Whenever
- I type this key combo, though, a ~ is inserted at the cursor point
- instead. If I try to use describe-key and hit M-w, it is not recognized.
- ESC w seems to work. Also, this version of emacs seems to recognize
- other Meta key combinations (except M-w).
-
- Am I doing something wrong in the setup files? Or is this version
- from the LaserPro disk (vol 2.1) bogus?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated!
