  @cindex Help invoked by Backspace
  @cindex DEL key does not delete
  
! The @key{Backspace} key (on most keyboards) generates ASCII code 8.
  @kbd{C-h} sends the same code.  In Emacs by default @kbd{C-h} invokes
  help-command.  This is intended to be easy to remember since the first
  letter of @samp{help} is @samp{h}.  The easiest solution to this problem

  @cindex Escape key, lacking
  
! Type @kbd{C-[} instead.  This should send ASCII code 27 just like an
  Escape key would.  @kbd{C-3} may also work on some terminal (but not
  under X).  For many terminals (notably DEC terminals) @key{F11}
  generates @key{ESC}.  If not, the following form can be used to bind it:

  find out what keysym your @key{Meta} key generates.  It should be either

  display or is invoked with @samp{emacs -nw}, you typically need to use
  @code{set-terminal-coding-system} to tell Emacs what the terminal can
  display, even after setting the language environment; otherwise
! non-ASCII characters will display as @samp{?}.  On other operating
  systems, such as MS-DOS and MS-Windows, Emacs queries the OS about the
  character set supported by the display, and sets up the required
  terminal coding system automatically.
