Sole problem detected : the caret (^) in emacs does not seem to work. With emacs -q BTRY.tex "^2" gives "2" "^ " gives " " The same in bash: "^2" gives "^2" "^ " gives "^" My file has "^" characters, I can copy-paste this character (this is my way of typing just now!). I couldn't locate info on internet, maybe I'm not using the proper keywords. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Olivier
