Prior to this, in all Emacs modes, indeed in all X-Term windows and other apps, I would type Meta (or Alt) Backspace to kill the previous word. Since I switched emacsen, M-BS is now mapped to undo. Placing commands such as global-set-key or local-set-key in .emacs or .latex (called by the former) gets overruled by something, but I'm not sure what. Arrgh! Any ideas? -- -------------- Dan Griswold Carrollton, TX --------------
