Hi,

 

This is probably a pointless email but maybe it will reach someone who can
easily correct this v.minor issue.

 

I'm just going through the emacs tutorial to relearn what was once known and
since forgotten and I noticed an issue.

 

In the section on if emacs stops responding, you have:

 

"

If you have typed an <ESC> by mistake, you can get rid of it with a C-g.

"

 

But my version gives

 

"

C-m-G is undefined

"

 

C-g works fine for the C-u examples prior to this.

 

 

Kind Regards,

 

Liam
