Hi:



In emacs, how to move cursor to a particular line, e.g., line500?



In xemacs, M-g-linenumber does it. But how about emacs? 

Thanks.



Jack

        M-x  goto-line RET  linenumber RET  gets you  where  you need.
Sometimes the goto-line  lisp function is bound to M-g  -- so you just
M-g line_number RET.  Other times you have to bind it yourself.

  others answered your question

  i'd just like to remark that, in some cases, who that wants
  "goto-line" is really asking for "M-x compile" and "M-x next-error"

Hi:



When using emacs to read C++ code, how to find the corresponding "{" of a "}", or vice versa?

Thanks a lot.



Jack

C-M-f and C-M-b.  Also useful is C-M-u, which goes up a nesting
level.
