Making BackSpace delete the character `behind the point' is as easy as adding to your .emacs the following: (global-set-key "\C-h" 'backward-delete-char) If you do that, you can still invoke Emacs' help with `M-x help' or bind some other key to invoke the `help' function, like `ESC h' with proper key mappings in your .emacs file. (global-set-key "\M-h" 'backward-delete-char) I hope this helps a bit :) Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
