Me too.

(True/false?)
Here that means QWERTYUIOP ASDFGHJKLÑ ZXCVBNMÇ. That is, the [A-Z] of an
English keyboard plus Ñ and Ç (i.e. add English N with ~ tilde above and add
English C with , cedilla below).
By associating GNU Emacs with Massachusetts I was able to guess further that
the meaning here was the more restrictive [a-zA-Z] or [a-z], but as yet I'm
too stunningly ignorant of Emacs to know how to resolve this ambiguity over
upper/lower case myself.
As we speak, gnu.emacs.help folk at
http://groups.google.com/groups?as_usubject=Insert%20key%20should%20be
are busy explaining to me that C-h b describe-bindings is not a good way for
me to try and predict C-h k describe-key results.
Also that I can't reasonably expect a computer to know what kind of keyboard
is connected to it.
To my ignorant eye, C-h k describe-key claims like:
overwrite-mode is on insert
C-c C-h is undefined
appear to be lies.
I have no Insert key, and C-c C-h is the only technique I've found yet for
listing what key sequences prefixed by C-c are bound for me by default.
gnu.emacs.help folk are working to clue me in.

I'm returning to Emacs after an eight year absence, because I need a
reasonably capable source code editor to run inside Apple OpenFirmware boot
Forth.
