[...] I suspect that the OP's OS is MS Windows XP. There is a facility to change the keymap. The OS provides a shortcut for this which uses some key-combination that is also used by Emacs. But I forgot which one. I solved this by disabling this keymap facility. Oliver -- 5 Fructidor an 211 de la Révolution Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
