I have just been going through the tutorial tryin= g to get familiar with the important key combos and one in particular is ca= using me an issue. It seems that the Meta-a and Meta-e does not want to alw= ays work. In the tutorial I works like intended, going to the beginning and= end of sentence respectively. But when I made a new file and typed out a c= ouple paragraphs to practice moving around in my own file, using those comb= os will just move me from the beginning and end of the paragraph. I am on w= indows using emacs in the command prompt and with two buffers up in the win= dow it works fine in the tutorial but not my file. Anyone know what's going= on here, I would appreciate the help!=20 Scott
