I meant that `C-h ? C-M-v' doesn't work.  But don't worry, refcard
is not a place for such nuances, and the phrase `follow the directions'
is sufficient.

As Lute pointed out, on a 2 column refcard they are side by side,
so let's not move them.

What still bothers me in `Query Replace' is that `C-M-%' is not
mentioned.  Lute added a comment saying that it can't be typed on
consoles.  But is it a reason for majority of users (X, xterm,
MSWindows, MacOS) to not know about `C-M-%'?  Users who can't type
`C-M-%' on consoles, have other means (manuals, help facility) to find
a replacement command.
