Hi,
I was transferring a new mode and .emacs file from my PC to my work
linux box. My PC is running 23.1.1 and my linux box is running
21.3.1. Anyway I was getting the following error from the Linux
version "Invalid escape character syntax". I was able to trace it
down to instances like (insert ?\s). My PC will insert a space and on
the linux box will give an error. I did try (insert " ") and this
works just fine as well as (insert ?\t). Why isn't \s recognized? Is
this common problem from older versions? What would be the best work-
around? Have the current version of emacs installed?
Thanks.
Richard.
