When I type either M-a or "M-x backward-sentence" the cursor moves to the beginning of the paragraph, not the
beginning of the sentence. Note that this only happens in my own text buffers; these commands work as expected in
the tutorial. Same thing with M-e.
I've hunted the web a bit to no avail. I'm flummoxed. Can anyone help?
BTW, emacs 21.1.1 on OS X 10.2.6
Thanks

My guess is you're not putting two spaces between your sentences (I only
see one space between "beginning of the sentence." and "Note that".
See the variables sentence-end and sentence-end-double-space.
