Hello.
I've been happily using EMACS for about 8 months now, mostly
as a code editor for C, LISP, and SQL.
It's worked great on Windows and Linux, so much so that I'm hooked. Recently I loaded Mandrake 9.2 Linux on
my Linux partition, replacing Red Hat 8 (the computer is an HP Pavillion,
Pentium 4 processor). The EMACS
installation that came with Mandrake has keys that only work once when you hold
them down (if I type in C-n, holding both keys down, the cursor stops and waits
for me to press C-n again to move down another line). Is this something that can be controlled
by setting a variable in the .Emacs file or is it a quirk of the OS? Thanks in advance for helping out a
newb.
