I really do appreciate the help and I'm sorry that I'm being a bit
dense, but I want to understand this.
This works for what I want to do, but I still don't grok it. I
understand all the steps, but now... if I want to reassign the tab
key, how would I go about doing that? Everything I try seems to fail,
just like it did before for C-i. I've been reading info for hours now
and I understand a lot more about emacs, but this still bothers me.
Thanks a lot.
