Lines: 14 Charles Brown, could you please read the Emacs manual before you ask questions that it answers? Or use ESC-? followed by ESC-X Describe-Command from inside Emacs. You bind a global with (declare-global foo). I'm not saying "Go away dumb novice", I'm saying "Don't bother us for things that you can look up yourself". OK? If you have a bootleg Emacs with no manuals, shell out $400 for binary or $1000 for source to Unipress. HP can certainly afford it. Or look around online -- all the manuals come in machine readable form, which is where ESC-? and Describe-command get them.
