M-: (global-set-key (kbd "ESC") 'ding) RET
<f1> t

The tutorial says:

,----
|  M-<chr>  means hold the META or EDIT or ALT key down while typing <chr>.
|         If there is no META, EDIT or ALT key, instead press and release the
|         ESC key and then type <chr>.  We write <ESC> for the ESC key.
| ** The key <ESC> has been rebound, but you can use  instead [More 
information] **
`----

I fail to understand what "but you can use  instead" means.
Additionally, as the warning line is longer than 80 characters it's
quite disturbing.

BTW, if you do the same with a German language environment, the German
tutorial is interrupted by lines in English.  Also the "NOTICE" is in
English.  I'm not sure if these recent changes are a good idea for the
non-English tutorials, given the fact that finding volunteers for the
simple translation tasks listed in FOR-RELEASE (refcards, first line
of the tutorial) is difficult.

Bye, Reiner.
