Explain the dangers in the relevant section of the Emacs manual. 2. Add C-M-S- as a binding for backward-kill-sexp. Of course, if one would do 2. , then one should tell people explicitly that C-M-S- is not a valid alternative under X, because that kills the X server just as well as C-M-. Sincerely, Luc.
