Someone I know has got a problem to use 

C-SPC to activate marking.

It does not seem to appear in the keymap.

Now I tried to put together some lisp code to achieve it.

(global-set-key "\C- " 'set-mark-command)

This code works under console.  But doesn't do it in X.

Why ?  I also tried "\C-SPC" but doesn't work.

anyone a suggestion ?

thanks in advance ?

regards,

Pieter
