Using MicroEMACS comands
You can type MicroEMACS instructions in upper or lower
case. There are two types of instruction, CONTROL and
META.
CONTROL instructions
These are typed while holding down the CTRL key
which is signified by the ^ character. For example
^F is generated by pressing the F key while holding
down the CTRL key.
META instructions
These are typed after pressing the ESC key which is
signified by M-. For example, M-F is generated by
pressing the ESC key and then typing the letter F.
Throughout this document, the ESC key is referred to
as the META key.
Remember, the CONTROL instructions are typed with
the CTRL key and the META instructions are typed
after the ESC key.
Sometimes a META or CONTROL instruction will prompt
you for more information. This information may be
another META or CONTROL instruction or some text.
