Thus, if you are looking for commands to kill a chunk of text before point, you could try C-h a kill back backward behind before RET. The real command name kill-backward will match that; if there were a command kill-text-before, it would also match, since it contains two of the specified words." The real command name kill-backward? I'm sorry, but I can't find any command named "kill-backward". Am I missing something, or is this a mistake?
