In emacs 21.2 (the win32 binary loaded from the windows page running on a Windows32 platform), the key sequence C-x RET now invokes spell, however in the info pages at the bottom of the Introduction to International Character Sets node (International -> International Chars) is the following: The prefix key `C-x ' is used for commands that pertain to multibyte characters, coding systems, and input methods. Additionally the Specifying a Coding System node (International -> Specify Coding) specifically lists seven commands that is says are invoked via C-x RET followed by another character and the Selecting an Input Method node (International -> Select Input Method) lists another one. Since I do not have access to an emacs 21.1 running on a UNIX platform I don't know if this is a bug or if the person who created the win32 binary provided this feature. Could someone who is running emacs 21.1 on UNIX or any other platform where they are sure that they have not overridden the mapping for C-x RET please have a look at this and let me know what you find. I would sincerely like to get back the functionality that is specified in the info pages, if any one out there knows how to do this I would be truly grateful for any assistance that you could give. -_ J_) C_)ingham .
