T. Raven: >> (In v22 or cvs) C-h d rectangle RET mentions some more. Sorry! I seem to have forgotten that GNU Emacs 21.4 is the "official" version ... (since I almost never use it) Elder Emacsen have a similiar function, that works only on function names: apropos (GNU Emacs 22 knows also apropos-variable, apropos- value). It accepts regular expressions, but it works too to just type: C-h a rectangle RET. Could be apropos is even the better function: although the explanations are very terse, the key bindings are mentioned! -- Greetings Pete When you meet a master swordsman, show him your sword.
