See the Emacs manual, node `Text Display'. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Text-Display.html You can insert any control character by first hitting `C-q' and then hitting the character (e.g. use "Control + q Control + a" to insert the Control A character. For info about `C-q', see the Emacs manual, node `Inserting Text'. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Inserting-Text.htm= l
