I am working with 21.4a-1, 21.3.5 is what the book covers, so I am guessing that the x key in 21.41.1 differ. is that correct and if so, what is the execute command once you mark your buffers? In any buffer: - `C-h b' gives you a complete list of all key bindings in the buffer. - `C-h m' gives you info on the buffer's modes, which also sometimes lists the most important keybindings. What does it say about keys `m' and `v'? - `C-h k' gives you the command that is bound to any key.
