| Does anyone know why I get the following message, when I hit Ctrl-Y in XEMacs for Windows? The message is: "MCSE Windows 2000 Network Design Exam Cram Personal Test Center". What kind of hook is that??? | |

I used EMacs on Unix, but never see something like this? ? ? ? ? | |

| Well, I am stuck on this Win2K Pro machine at work and so I went to GNU and downloaded a copy of their EMacs for Windows. I use vi typically when editing files on my UNIX box at home, so I was just playing around with the shift keys and When I hit Ctrl-Y, I got that message, which I thought was downright bizzare. | |

| You should get XEmacs; it's nicer.
Ctrl-Y pastes a previously copied buffer. Most probably, while playing with the shift keys  you copied that "MCSE Windows 2000 Network Design Exam Cram Personal Test Center" text, and now it's in a buffer. There must be a method to clear all the buffers (emacs has hundreds of commands to do all sort of things), but I don't know how to do it.
You can try this: open emacs, open a file or create a file (some junk), go to the beginning of a line, hit Ctrl-K (this cuts the current line), go to the end of the file and hit Ctrl-Y. Now you should see the line you just copied instead of the "MSCE...." thing.
Cheers! | |

| This is XEmacs. And that's what's baffled me . . . I didn't copy that . . . I have no intentions of getting my MCSE, and bsaically what I had typed was: "OK, let's play with the keys . . . " and then started highlighting and using Ctrl keys to see what would happen. | |

| Did u go to xemac.org to look for the command?
Take a little time to search... | |

| I think EMacs is screaming at you for using it in Winblows  | |
|
| No, I haven't looked at the docs yet, was just playing around with it. And as for as for uisng it in Windows, that's our desktops at work. So the best I can do is try to customise my box until it is UNIX-like as possible. Thus EMacs, vi and cygwin.  |
