This is odd because generally people have the opposite problem: typing `C-SPC' works fine under a window system, but in a terminal (or terminal emulator within a window system) they have to resort to `C-@'. Does the problem occur when your friend starts Emacs with no local customizations (emacs -q --no-site-file)? What happens when she types `C-h k C-SPC', then `C-h l' in both environments (i.e. with and without the -nw command line option)? -- Kevin Rodgers
