Picture mode (in the standard distribution) has commands for
manipulating rectangular regions.  It can help you line up
left-justified columns, but not right-justified (as far as I know).

Is there a dbx mode out there that acts exactly like the gdb mode, the

I like the way gdb-mode displays the source, etc., but I haven't been

I'd use gdb if I could solve the latter problem.  Otherwise I'd like

The AUC TeX package for GNU Emacs allows you to outline based on LaTeX
sectioning commands, e.g. hide allsubsubsections in a given section,
show a list of chapters in the document, etc.  This will of course
only work if you write your document in LaTeX from the start.

Absolutely.  Its also easy to customize.  I wanted the outlined display to

comment leader "%-" to flag the summary line the following .emacs code does
the trick....

(defun peta-LaTeX-mode ()

You should write (setq-default auto-fill-mode t) in your .emacs.

I'm not sure what this or the following question have to do with dired,

M-! mkdir olddir/newdir

Just that the function is called backward-kill-sexp, and I'm not sure
how to bind Control Delete.  C-h C-k C-DEL indicates that Control Delete
is the same as Control Underscore on my SPARCstation, so perhaps this
will do the trick:

(global-set-key "\M-\C-_" (function backward-kill-sexp))

I just tried it, it seems to work; I think I'll use it myself.

Your problem is that Emacs Lisp distinguishes between characters and strings.
Try this instead:

This is mentioned, briefly, in section 28.6.1, Init File Syntax, in the

Try cmushell/comint - IMHO much better than shell-mode.  It has a

    The error messages come already in XOpenDisplay.

    However, temacs, the version which has not been dumped, is able to run

My suspicion is that the X library uses a static variable
that somehow gets initialized before temacs is dumped,
and has the wrong value once the dumped Emacs is run.

One solution would be to figure out what function is setting
the variable, and avoid calling it as part of the dumping process.

In emacs info it is under:

	Emacs / Killing

The previous node "Mark" tells you about setting the mark.

If you had done an apropos "kill" you would have seen (among many
other things) kill-region which kills the region between point and
mark.  

To summarize.  You place the cursor at one end of the region you wish
to kill and set the mark (usually C-<space>).  You then position your
cursor at the other end of the region do a kill-region (usually C-w).
