Thank you,
Indeed that seems to work, but it is non-intuitive. Who would know
that C-6 can be used as substitute of C-^?
I would like to see natural key used as default, which would not
cause confusion and possible data loss (as in my case). Luckily
the #buffer# files were there.
Key C-' would be better, because
.. you see the (') key - and you can reach it in all keyboards
.. you press the Ctrol-key and that key
and is works.
