How do you "write" =F1 (do you use an input method? Type it on your keyboa= rd...?)? What language environment do you use (if you don't set it explicitly, it will be set automatically from the LANG environment variable)? Do you use X emacs, emacs in a tty, etc.? If tty emacs, which type of terminal do you use? -Miles --=20 Defenceless, adj. Unable to attack.
