Hi All, Thanks for the reply. M-; works for me. It does both the job of commenting and un-commenting. @Drew Adams : When i did 'C-h k' and tried 'C-c C-c' below was the description "runs the command comment-region, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function." Just trying to understanding, both C-c C-c and M-; does the job of commenting, what is the basic difference ? Where can i find all such emacs shortcuts related to programming ? One more question, is it allowed to resort help from group by sending out mail to the group mail id help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org ? -- Regards Nachiappan A
