Subject: can't get "help"
Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2007 03:56:33 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <RvwXi.1671$Qr.873@newsread1.mlpsca01.us.to.verio.net> (raw)
this is the emacs that's installed on a FreeBSD system.
I get the opening msg "Hold down Control and press h"
but when I do that it just eats up the msg about "this
buffer is for blah blah blah" one character at a time,
starting at the end.
I can get a list of commands in an old Mandrake install
but the cursor seems to be stuck in the scratch buffer,
I can't scroll down the list.
I have a book. I have been looking in it but can't
find what I want.
I also can't find how to move to the top or the end
of a buffer.
Any help immensely appreciated.
