As a sidenote.... Let's say you have a keyboard where meta is awkward. You don't need to use "C-u 0" you can use just "C-0". By default "C-u 0", "C-0" and "M-0" all do the same thing. Also, you can use "C-[" instead of ESC, which is often easier on laptop keyboard with small ESC keys. If I were on a keyboard with a tricky meta key I would type "C-0 C-[ t". BR, Robert Thorpe
