What do I enter in occur (M-x occur) to search for the pattern in the
subject line? (I have omitted all escaping there.)

hi lennart,
what do you mean, you have some sourcecode where this regex occurs,
and you want to find the matching lines? then you'd have to use sth
like this:
\^(\?:M|C)
if you want to match lines that begin with M or C, then it'd have to
be:
^\(?:M\|C\)
HTH, regards,
anselm

Yes, thanks, that helped. I will try to remember now that it is just a
single \ for escaping when prompted for a pattern...
